Reverse description A sword within its sheath, shown horizontally with the suspension strap depicted above the scabbard. The legend AN-TAI is distributed across the upper field to either side of the sword, with the civic ethnic K A (for Kaunos) also present in the field. A filleted palm frond appears in the lower left field, a symbol associated with victory and civic pride. The composition is typical of the autonomous bronze and silver issues of Kaunos during the Rhodian period.
