Reverse description A large royal monogram composed of interlocking Greek letters, most likely representing the name or title of Deiotarus, occupies the left portion of the field. To the right stands an oval Galatian shield, depicted in outline with a central spine and a pronounced boss, a characteristic Celtic defensive weapon emblematic of Galatian identity. The composition is framed by a beaded border. The juxtaposition of the dynastic monogram and the Galatian shield reflects the dual Hellenistic and Celtic heritage of the issuing authority.
