| Reverse description | Bearded male head in right profile, crowned with a turreted or crenellated crown rendered in fine detail, the hair arranged in wavy locks falling to the nape of the neck and the beard composed of carefully delineated curls. The portrayal, consistent with Achaemenid divine iconography, is generally identified as Ahura-Mazda or a deified royal figure. The field is plain, and the flan exhibits the characteristic irregular edge of a hand-struck issue. The engraving displays a confident, accomplished style blending Greek and Near Eastern artistic conventions. |
