| Reverse description | Standing owl facing, rendered in the Athenian style closely imitating the iconic type of Attic coinage. The bird is depicted full-bodied with feathers indicated by incuse circular punches across the breast and wings, and the large frontal eyes are clearly delineated. The talons grip a plain ground line. The field is unlettered, reflecting the absence of the standard Athenian ethnic, distinguishing this local Bactrian imitation from its Attic prototype. |
