| Reverse description | A prominent upward-pointing crescent occupies the central field, with a six-pointed star set within the horns of the crescent. The design carries deep religious significance for Carrhae, where the lunar deity Sin was venerated. The Greek colonial mint legend encircles the central device along the beaded border, identifying the issuing authority. The crescent-and-star type is the hallmark reverse type of Carrhae's civic coinage. |
