| Reverse description | The reverse presents a multi-line Greek inscription enclosed within a prominent laurel wreath tied at the base, referencing the colonial status of Bostra and the Actian Dousarian games celebrated there. The outer circular legend COL METROPOLIS BOSTRA runs around the periphery, while the inner wreath encloses the Greek text ΑΚΤΙΑ ΔΟΥϹΑΡΙΑ arranged in multiple lines across the field. The wreath is rendered with detailed leaf-work typical of provincial Arabian coinage of the Severan and Philippan periods. |
