| Reverse description | Eagle standing facing left on a palm branch, wings spread and head turned to the right, holding a wreath in its beak — the canonical reverse type of Antiochene tetradrachms of this period. The bird is rendered with confident, deeply struck feather detail across the wings and body. The Greek tribunician power legend ΔΗΜΑΡΧ ΕΞΟΥCΙΑC is distributed around the upper and lateral fields, while the senatorial approval mark SC appears in the lower exergue beneath the palm branch. Two pellets (··) serve as officina or issue marks within the field. |
