| Reverse description | A wild boar charging to the right in full stride, its bristled back rendered with fine radial lines suggesting the coarse texture of the animal's hide. The boar is depicted with powerful musculature and an open mouth, conveying ferocity and forward momentum. Below the boar, the ethnic abbreviation ΕΣΤ is inscribed in Greek characters across the lower field, representing the city-ethnikon of Aspendos. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded circular border. The reverse type is characteristic of early Aspendian silver coinage and reflects the city's civic identity through the use of a powerful animal emblem. |
