| Reverse description | An eagle displayed frontally, with wings raised and spread, perched upon a turtle or tortoise shown from above; the composition is set within a square incuse punch bordered by a prominent row of beads forming a dotted square frame. The central design elements are rendered in relief within the incuse square, a technique characteristic of early Lycian dynastic issues. The field is unlettered. The overall style reflects the transitional Archaic-to-Classical engraving tradition of southwestern Anatolia. |
