| Reverse description | Zeus Labraundos depicted standing in right profile, clad in a chiton and himation draped over his lower body. In his raised right hand he brandishes the labrys, the distinctive Carian double-headed axe, while in his left hand he holds a long lotus-tipped sceptre. The figure embodies the dynastic cult deity of the Hecatomnid rulers, a hallmark of Carian satrapal coinage. The abbreviated Greek legend ΠIΞΩΔ appears in the field, identifying the issuing satrap Pixodarus. |
