| Beschrijving keerzijde | Male bust facing right in low relief, rendered in a schematized South Arabian style derived from Roman prototypes, with striated hair and a beaded neck. The bust is placed on a ground line within the central field. To the right, a caduceus-like symbol with a bifurcated lower element is prominently displayed. The field is surrounded by an inscription in Ancient South Arabian script arranged around the periphery, reading the royal name and titles of the issuer. The overall composition closely mirrors Himyarite imitations of Roman denarii, with the legend distributed around the bust. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Himyarite kingdom of southwestern Arabia produced silver coinages that drew heavily on South Arabian and Roman monetary traditions simultaneously — an unusual convergence that reflects the region's position astride incense and spice routes connecting the Mediterranean world with India and East Africa. ʿAmdān Bayān Yahaqbiḍ was a ruler of Raydan, one of the competing tribal polities that Himyar was in the process of absorbing during this period. The quinarius denomination itself is borrowed Roman terminology applied to a distinctly local product.
