| Reverse description | A winged lion seated in profile to the right, raising its left forepaw in a heraldic pose, occupying the central field. An Aramaic letter Beth (ב) appears above the creature. To the right stands a frontal facing head of the Egyptian dwarf deity Bes, a motif frequently encountered on Philistian coinage reflecting Egyptian cultural influence. The entire design is enclosed within a dotted square border set within a broader incuse square, a characteristic feature of this series as catalogued by Gitler and Tal. |
