| Reverse description | Ahura-Mazda, the supreme deity of the Zoroastrian pantheon, rendered in the Achaemenid tradition as a winged solar disk with a frontal bearded bust. The divine figure faces the viewer frontally while the head is turned to the right, with the body terminating in a broad solar disk from which emerge stylized wings and a spread of tail feathers, a motif directly derived from Achaemenid Persian iconography. In his raised right hand Ahura-Mazda holds a wreath, and in his lowered left hand a lotus blossom. The execution is characteristic of the Cilician mint style of the early 4th century BC, combining Persian religious imagery with fine Greek engraving technique. |
