| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Heraclean attributes arranged in the field: a bow within a quiver at left and the club of Heracles at right, presented as cult symbols of the hero-god venerated at Smyrna. The composition is typical of the civic bronze coinage of Smyrna, emphasising the weapons and implements of Heracles rather than his effigy. The ethnic legend ϹΜΥΡΝΑΙΩΝ (of the Smyrnaeans) encircles the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Smyrna was one of the most prolific civic minting authorities in Asia Minor, and its bronze output under Commodus reflects the city's sustained competition with Ephesus and Pergamon for primacy within the Ionian conventus. The city had backed Marcus Aurelius's dynasty loyally, and local bronze coinage of this period functioned as municipal currency for small transactions entirely outside Roman imperial supply chains.
At 16mm and under 3 grams, this falls at the lighter end of Smyrnaean civic production — likely a single unit rather than a multiple.
