| Reverse description | Jugate draped busts of the Dioscuri (Castor and Pollux) facing right, each wearing a laureate pileus surmounted by a star, emblematic of the divine twin brothers. The busts are rendered in a conventional provincial style with drapery indicated on the shoulders. The reverse legend identifies the issuing city and provides a regnal year in the local Seleucid era dating system. The design reflects the strong cult veneration of the Dioscuri in the Phoenician coastal cities. |
