| Reverse description | Prow of a war galley advancing to the left, depicted with horizontal oar banks and a prominent forefoot ram rendered in stylized relief. Above the prow, a Phoenician ligature combining the letters Aleph and Resh appears in the upper field, serving as a civic abbreviation for Arados. The design is bold and schematic, characteristic of the municipal bronze coinage of Phoenician maritime city-states during the Hellenistic period. |
