| Reverse description | A winged griffin with leonine body, raised forepaws, and open beak lunges rightward, attacking a stag that kneels in submission to the left. The predatory scene is rendered with dynamic energy in high relief, in a style drawing from both Greek and Persian artistic traditions. An Aramaic inscription reading 'Ariorath' appears in the lower field, identifying the issuing ruler Ariarathes I of Cappadokia. |
