| Obverse description | Baaltars, the Phoenician-Aramaic deity of Tarsus, enthroned left upon a backless throne, his right hand extending forward to hold a lotus-tipped scepter, his left hand resting upon his chlamys at the waist. In the outer left field, a grain ear above a grape bunch serve as civic symbols of Tarsian fertility; to the right field, an ivy leaf. Beneath the throne, the letter T (likely a mintmark or control mark) appears in the exergue area. The rendering follows the well-established Tarsian iconographic tradition of the late Achaemenid satrapal coinage. |
