| Obverse description | The Phoenician deity Baaltars (Baal of Tarsus) seated three-quarter facing on a throne, his muscular torso bare and his lower body draped, holding a long sceptre surmounted by an eagle in his right hand and extending a bunch of grapes on a vine branch in his left. Beneath the throne is a lion protome mask facing left, and the throne legs terminate in lion-paw feet resting on a ground line. To the right of the deity, an Aramaic inscription reads vertically in the field. The engraving displays finely modelled anatomical detail characteristic of Cilician satrapal coinage of the mid-fourth century BC. |
