| Reverse description | Eagle standing left upon a thunderbolt, rendered in the standard late Ptolemaic numismatic convention. A palm-branch is visible beneath the eagle's right wing, a symbol of victory. A dove is depicted in the left field, a distinctive iconographic element specific to the Ascalon civic mint issues. The field is flanked by a two-line Greek legend divided around the central type, citing the sacred and inviolate status of the city of Ascalon and the regnal year 55 (LΝΕ) in the Egyptian dating system. |
