| Reverse description | King of Sidon, identified as Abdashtart I, shown standing to the right driving a war chariot pulled by a horse moving left; the royal figure is depicted in near-eastern dress, holding the reins with both hands, while a large wheel of the chariot is prominently rendered in the lower field. The scene is enclosed within a dotted border, characteristic of Phoenician bronze coinage of the fourth century BC. The composition reflects the blending of Achaemenid and local Phoenician artistic conventions prevalent at Sidon during this period. |
