| Reverse description | The reverse displays a highly schematized and degenerate design composed of irregular, roughly parallel incuse strokes or lines arranged across the field, representing the extreme stylistic degradation of what was originally an anchor or other dynastic symbol. The design has been reduced to abstract markings through successive generations of die-cutting, a well-documented characteristic of late Elymaean drachms of the Kamnaskirid dynasty. No legible inscription or legend is present. The flan is irregular and the surface shows typical ancient wear and oxidation consistent with billon coinage of this period. |
