| Reverse description | Bearded male head in left profile, identified as the satrap Pharnabazos, wearing a crested Attic helmet with a prominent transverse crest and cheekpieces, the bowl decorated with a volute ornament. The portrait displays fine engraving of facial features including a full beard, rendered in the naturalistic Greek style employed at Cilician satrapal mints. The Greek legend TEPΣIKON appears in the left field, referencing the issuing authority or mint designation. The irregular oval flan and bold, high-relief portrait are characteristic of hammered satrapal silver of this period. |
