| Reverse description | A single stylized ear of grain (wheat or barley) depicted upright in the central field, rendered in the Hellenistic convention typical of Artaxiad bronze coinage. The grain motif, symbolic of agricultural prosperity, is flanked by the royal Greek inscription. The reverse field shows considerable wear and surface corrosion consistent with the age and bronze composition of the flan. |
