| Reverse description | Bare male head in right-facing profile occupying the central field, rendered in a schematic style characteristic of Himyarite silver coinage, with the hair indicated by closely spaced parallel ridges and a prominent beaded beard. A large circular royal monogram composed of Ancient South Arabian letters appears to the right of the bust, suspended from a vertical staff. An Ancient South Arabian legend surrounds the effigy along the outer border, reading the royal titulature of Tha'ran Ya'ub Yuhan'im of Raydan. Below the neck truncation, additional South Arabian characters serve as a secondary inscription or mint notation. |
