| Reverse description | An eagle with wings fully spread stands to the left upon a thunderbolt, its head turned back sharply to the right in a heraldic pose characteristic of Hellenistic royal coinage. The thunderbolt, symbol of Zeus, is depicted horizontally beneath the bird's talons. A monogram appears in the left field, serving as a mint or magistrate control mark. The composition is bold and well-centred within the flan, rendered in the vigorous engraving style typical of late Hellenistic Anatolian bronzes. The reverse iconography alludes to the divine authority of Deiotarus, tetrarch and later king of Galatia. |
