| Beschrijving voorzijde | Pegasus in right-facing profile, depicted in a prancing or flying posture with wings prominently spread and rendered in bold relief. The musculature and feathering of the wing are articulated with fine engraved lines in an archaic Lycian style. The overall composition fills the flan, with the creature's forelegs raised and the elongated wing curving dramatically across the upper field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Orou governed as a dynast in the Carian-Lycian borderlands during a period when Achaemenid administrative control was exercised loosely enough that local rulers could strike their own coinage — a privilege that reflected practical imperial delegation rather than genuine autonomy. The hemidrachm denomination places this issue squarely within the Rhodian weight standard that dominated Aegean silver coinage throughout the fifth century.
Orou himself is poorly attested in literary sources; nearly everything known about him comes from the coins themselves and a handful of Lycian dynastic inscription fragments.
