| Reverse description | An eagle rendered full-face with wings dramatically spread, its head turned to the left, stands upon a harpa — the curved sickle-sword associated with Perseus, a symbol of particular civic pride at Tarsus. The feathering of the wings and breast is rendered with fine detail in high relief. The reverse field is plain, and the circular Greek legend ΑΔΡΙΑΝΩΝ ΤΑΡϹΕΩΝ ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΕΩϹ, meaning 'of the Hadrianic Tarsians, the metropolis,' runs within a dotted border, affirming the city's prestigious metropolitan status. |
