| Beschrijving keerzijde | A griffin, rendered in dynamic relief characteristic of Achaemenid-influenced die-cutting, lunges left to attack a stag kneeling in submission before it. The griffin is depicted with outstretched wings and open jaws, its forelegs raking the stag's haunches in a predatory strike. A wreath appears above the scene in the upper field, framing the composition. The flan is irregular and slightly off-center, as is typical of hammered coinage of this period. The overall style closely parallels contemporaneous Persian-satrapal coinage of Asia Minor. |

Ariarathes I was not a king in the conventional sense when this coin was struck — he governed Cappadocia as a satrap under Achaemenid authority, and the transition implied by his coinage reflects the chaos following Alexander's eastern campaigns rather than any formal grant of sovereignty. When Perdiccas moved against him in 322 BC, Ariarathes was captured, crucified, and his territory absorbed into the wars of the Diadochi. This issue therefore predates that end by a matter of months at most.
