Descrizione del rovescio	A stag standing to the right, rendered in fine relief with naturalistic musculature and detailed antlers, positioned before a tall palm tree whose fronds spread prominently in the upper right field. The legend ΑΡΑΔΙΩΝ is inscribed vertically along the right side of the field. The composition reflects the accomplished Hellenistic die-engraving tradition associated with Aradian civic coinage, with the palm tree serving as a longstanding civic emblem of the city.
