| Reverse description | Upright anchor, the symbol of the Seleucid dynasty, depicted with a crossbar and ring at the top, centrally positioned in the field. The Greek royal legend is arranged in two vertical columns flanking the anchor on either side. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. The anchor type is closely associated with the early Seleucid dynastic coinage and was revived under Demetrios II as a deliberate reference to dynastic legitimacy. |
