| Reverse description | The six-winged figure of Cronos-El striding to the left, a syncretistic deity combining Greek Kronos with the Phoenician El, rendered in the local Byblian iconographic tradition. The figure holds an Egyptian was-scepter in the right hand, reflecting the strong Egyptian cultural influence prevalent at the Phoenician coastal mints. A crescent enclosing a central globule is positioned above the deity's head. The Greek royal legend ΒΑCΙΛΕWC TPYΦΩNOC is distributed in the field, reading 'King Tryphon.' The type corresponds to Module B or C as classified in the Seleucid Coins catalogue. |
