| Reverse description | A war galley (trireme) advancing to the right, rendered with oars visible beneath the hull and a curved prow, set above a stylized wave pattern representing the sea below. Above the galley appears the Phoenician inscription denoting the civic authority of Arados. The entire design is contained within a dotted border forming a square, which is itself set within a recessed incuse square — a distinctive feature of early Phoenician silver coinage. The composition reflects the maritime identity and naval power of the Phoenician city of Arados. |
