Reverse description An owl stands to the left with head facing forward, rendered in the Athenian tradition standard among Philistian imitative coinage. An olive spray appears above the owl, and a lion's head facing left occupies the left field, serving as a distinguishing local control mark. The entire design is set within a shallow incuse square, directly echoing the reverse composition of classical Athenian tetradrachms and smaller fractions. No inscription is present; the design relies entirely on iconic symbolism to convey denomination and civic attribution.
