| Reverse description | Stylized owl facing front in the manner of the Athenian tetradrachm prototype, rendered in a schematic local idiom with prominent pellet eyes and feather detailing reduced to clustered raised dots across the breast. An olive sprig with berries is depicted to the left of the owl. The Greek letters ΘΕ appear to the right of the owl in the field. The overall composition closely follows the standard Athenian new-style owl reverse but is heavily abstracted through local Lihyanite die-cutting conventions. |
