| Reverse description | Eagle depicted three-quarters facing right in a dynamic stance with wings fully spread, grasping a serpent in its talons; the serpent's head extends to the right of the composition. The entire design is contained within a recessed incuse square, a hallmark of the Chian-Rhodian monetary tradition. The ethnic legend AΛIKAPNAΣ is inscribed within the field, identifying the issuing city of Halikarnassos. The eagle motif references Zeus and serves as a powerful civic emblem consistent with Carian dynastic coinage of the early fourth century BCE. |
