| Beschrijving keerzijde | Facing gorgoneion depicted full-face within a recessed incuse square, a hallmark of early Greek coinage technique. The grotesque visage displays wide, bulging eyes, a broad flat nose, and a protruding tongue issuing from between fang-like teeth, flanked by coiling serpentine forms at either side. The hair is rendered as a row of tight curls or beaded locks arranged above the brow. The incuse square is sharply defined, with the gorgoneion filling the available space in a commanding, apotropaic composition. No inscription or legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Orou was a dynast operating in the Carian interior during the period of loosening Achaemenid administrative control that followed the Peloponnesian War. His issues are poorly documented in ancient literary sources, making the coins themselves the primary evidence for his existence and authority. The reference spread here — Müseler, Rosen, SNG von Aulock — reflects decades of die-study work trying to establish a coherent sequence for the minor Carian dynasts, none of whom struck in large volume.
The trihemiobol denomination places this squarely in local fractional commerce rather than inter-regional trade.
