Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare, was highly revered in Athens, making her the ideal choice for the obverse design. The reverse side presents an owl, the sacred bird of Athena, standing and facing right. The owl symbolizes knowledge, intelligence, and vigilance.

Behind the owl, an olive spring and a crescent moon can be found, further emphasizing the ties to Athena and highlighting the importance of these symbolic elements in Athenian culture. The entire motif and inscription are enclosed within an incuse square, which creates a visually appealing and distinctive design.

The Kidarites belonged to a complex of peoples known collectively in India as the Huna, and in Europe as the Chionites (from the Iranian names Xwn/Xyon), and may even be considered as identical to the Chionites. The 5th century Byzantine historian Priscus called them Kidarite Huns, or "Huns who are Kidarites". The Huna/Xionite tribes are often linked, albeit controversially, to the Huns who invaded Eastern Europe during a similar period. They are entirely different from the Hephthalites, who replaced them about a century later.
