| Reverse description | Eagle standing facing, wings spread, head turned to the right, depicted without a tail in the distinctive local Edessan style; the eagle holds a wreath in its beak. Between the eagle's legs, a small shrine or naiskos with a pediment is visible, a characteristic type of the civic coinage of Edessa. The reverse legend is disposed in two lines within the field, flanking the central device, all within a beaded border. |
