| Reverse description | Highly stylized owl standing facing, rendered in a markedly abstract local style ultimately derived from the Athenian tetradrachm reverse type. The head of the owl is represented by concentric circles surmounted by a crescent, evoking the characteristic large eyes and ear tufts of the Athenian owl, while the body is indicated by radiating feather strokes below. Surrounding the central owl device are scattered pellets and additional schematic elements. An inscription in Ancient Northwest Arabic (Dadanitic/Lihyanite) script appears in the field, reading 'l`y', likely referencing the issuing authority or a dedicatory formula. |
