| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing gorgoneion depicted full face, centrally positioned within the coin field. The visage displays characteristic apotropaic features including a broad, fleshy face with staring eyes, a wide nose, and prominent cheeks, rendered in low relief consistent with the Hellenistic bronze coinage tradition of Pamphylia. The serpentine hair framing the face is rendered as a series of coiled, globular masses arranged symmetrically around the head. The design fills the flan with no visible legend or border inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aspendos was among the most commercially active cities of Pamphylia, its prosperity built largely on river trade along the Eurymedon and on control of regional agricultural surplus. The city had a long tradition of autonomous bronze coinage that persisted well into the Roman provincial period, and this issue falls somewhere in that wide span when civic identity was being quietly negotiated against increasing Roman administrative pressure.
The SNG von Aulock reference places this type firmly within a well-documented die study, which is useful given how frequently Aspendian bronzes of this period appear in varying states of centering and flan quality — a product of busy, high-volume municipal minting rather than ceremonial production.
