| Reverse description | Two eagles facing each other in heraldic opposition, their bodies rendered in a stylized manner influenced by Athenian monetary iconography. Between the eagles, the Egyptian hieroglyph nefer (representing the heart and trachea, symbolizing goodness and beauty) is depicted, while the hieroglyph neb (a basket, symbolizing lordship) appears in the lower field. Behind each eagle, an olive branch is represented, a motif directly borrowed from the coinage of Athens. The composition blends Egyptian religious symbolism with Greek artistic conventions. |
