| Reverse description | Derketo, the fish-tailed goddess of Ascalon, depicted standing atop a Triton who faces left, wearing a crescent symbol and holding a dove in one hand and a long sceptre in the other. The Triton, a hybrid sea-deity, is shown grasping two unidentified objects, possibly rudders or marine attributes. The composition reflects the distinctive religious iconography of Ascalon, where the cult of Derketo was central to civic identity. The reverse legend and date appear in the field, referencing the local Ascalonite civic era. |
