| Beschrijving keerzijde | A mounted satrap galloping vigorously to the right, wielding a long spear in his raised right hand; the rider is depicted in Persian court dress atop a spirited horse rendered in full stride. In the left field, a bearded head of Herakles wearing the Nemean lion-skin serves as an additional identifying symbol. The composition is enclosed within a dotted border, reflecting the blended Greek and Persian artistic conventions prevalent in Carian satrapal issues of this period. |

Caria's absorption into the Achaemenid administrative structure did not strip its rulers of meaningful monetary autonomy. The Hecatomnid dynasty — technically satraps, functionally monarchs — ran their own court at Halikarnassos and issued coinage on the Rhodian weight standard rather than any Persian norm, a quiet but deliberate assertion of regional independence that Persia consistently tolerated in exchange for loyalty and tribute.
The decade bracketing this issue saw Maussollos's ambitious Aegean policy at its height, including his manipulation of the Social War against Athens.
