| Beschrijving keerzijde | Eagle standing facing, with wings fully spread, head turned to the right, holding a wreath in its beak — a characteristic type of the Carrhae mint strongly associated with Mesopotamian provincial coinage. Between the eagle's legs, a crescent moon symbol is prominently placed, reflecting the lunar cult venerated at Carrhae. A star appears in the upper left field. Three pellets are arranged in the exergue below the eagle. The Greek legend is disposed in two lines across the upper field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carrhae's civic coinage under Caracalla carries weight beyond its metal — this was the city where Crassus met his end in 53 BC, and where Caracalla himself made a celebrated visit, reportedly venerating the temple of the Moon god Sin with unusual personal devotion. The emperor's attachment to the site was well-documented by ancient sources, and the city enjoyed imperial favor as a result.
The ΔΗΜΑΡΧ ΕΞ ΥΠΑΤΟϹ reverse legend reflects the Greek rendering of tribunicia potestate and consular titles, a formulaic honorific applied across eastern provincial issues but rarely seen on Carrhae's output with this degree of specificity.
