| Reverse description | Small diademed royal bust facing left, centrally placed within the field and surrounded on all sides by a circular Aramaic legend. The bust is rendered in a schematic, highly abbreviated style consistent with Elymaean coinage of this period. The surrounding inscription, executed in Aramaic characters, encircles the effigy and fills the available field, with the design contained within the irregular flan. |
