Beschrijving keerzijde	Owl standing facing with spread wings, rendered in a distinctly archaic Philistian style derived from the Athenian tetradrachm type but with notably stylized, outstretched wings rather than the folded wings of the Athenian prototype. An olive sprig and crescent appear to the upper left of the owl, and a partial Aramaic or Hebrew letter appears to the upper right. The design is set within an incuse square border, characteristic of early coin production at Ashkelon. The Hebrew letter aleph (א) in the field serves as an abbreviation for Ashkelon.
