| Obverse description | Galley with oars extended, depicted in left profile, occupying the central field of the flan. The hull is rendered with a dotted border along its lower edge suggesting the waterline, while the oar bank is indicated by a series of short strokes. The design is characteristic of Sidonian bronze coinage, reflecting the city's celebrated maritime tradition. The flan is irregular and the relief is low, consistent with hammered provincial bronze issues of the Achaemenid period. |
