| Reverse description | A large upward-pointing crescent dominates the central field, its horns directed upward, with two six-pointed stars (or rosettes) positioned within the concave interior of the crescent — one above the other. This celestial motif is a hallmark type of the Carrhae mint, referencing the city's deep association with the cult of the moon god Sin. The Greek colonial mint legend encircles the design along the periphery of the flan. |
