| Reverse description | Central device depicting a large crescent with horns pointing upward, surmounted by a six-pointed or eight-pointed star within the crescent's embrace, a well-known astral symbol closely associated with the cult and civic identity of Carrhae, the ancient Mesopotamian city renowned for its lunar deity Sin. A partially legible Greek civic legend surrounds the type in the field, though portions are off-flan or worn. The reverse design reflects the strong local religious tradition of the city, where the moon god was central to civic and religious life. |
