| Reverse description | An owl stands to the right with head turned to face the viewer, rendered in a schematic imitative style derived from the classical Athenian tetradrachm reverse type. An olive sprig appears to the left of the owl, referencing the canonical Athenian composition. The Greek letters ΘΕ appear to the right of the owl in the field, serving as an ethnic abbreviation or control mark. The design reflects a local Lihyanite interpretation of the Athenian owl motif, with simplified relief and provincial die-cutting characteristic of Northern Arabian imitative coinage. |
