| Beschrijving voorzijde | Baal of Gaziura enthroned left, his torso depicted facing, extending his right hand to hold a grape bunch, grain ear, and eagle, while his left hand rests on a lotus-tipped scepter. The deity is rendered in the Achaemenid artistic tradition, combining Semitic religious iconography with Persian court imagery. The Aramaic inscription B'L GZYR, reading 'Baal [of] Gaziura,' appears in the right field. The overall composition reflects the syncretic religious and political character of Cappadokian coinage under Ariarathes I. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A griffin, shown in dynamic left-facing posture with wings spread and raised, attacks a stag that kneels and collapses to the left beneath it. The predatory scene is rendered with considerable energy and detail, the griffin's eagle head and leonine body clearly delineated. A thunderbolt appears in the upper field above the group. The reverse type draws on Anatolian and Achaemenid artistic conventions, employing the griffin-and-prey motif common to the satrapal coinage of the region. The composition fills the flan with assured, vigorous engraving characteristic of late Achaemenid period civic and dynastic issues. |
