| Beschrijving keerzijde | Forepart of a prancing horse to the right, with a finely detailed crested mane rendered in a series of incised lines. The horse's raised forelegs and muscular neck are rendered with vigor characteristic of fifth-century Philistian coinage. Two Aramaic letters, Ayin and Zayin, appear in the upper left field, serving as a mint or magistrate identifier. The design is set on a flat, unbordered field within the irregular flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gaza sat at the southwestern terminus of the overland spice and incense routes connecting Arabia and the Levant to Egypt and the Mediterranean, and its fourth-century civic coinage reflects that commercial weight. These Philisto-Arabian drachms — struck under Achaemenid overlordship but circulated by local mercantile and administrative networks — were not imperial issues. They were trade instruments, produced to facilitate the same caravan economy that made Gaza one of the wealthiest cities on the eastern Mediterranean rim. Gitler and Tal's typology has brought meaningful order to what was long a chaotic series.
