The species of the bird depicted is under discussion (dove, eagle, duck?), cf. Hendin 119 f. who tended to identify the bird as a duck and to link it to duck-shaped scale weights used by Babylonians and Egyptians. If the bird is a dove, this could be a pointer that the coin was minted not in Jerusalem but in a city with significant cults of Herakles (lion) and Aphrodite (dove).
