| Reverse description | A serpent coiling to the left around and atop a decorated altar or base, rendered in a simple but recognizable provincial style. The altar appears to have a stepped or ornamented base visible beneath the serpent's coils. The ethnic legend ΝΑΚΡΑϹΕΩΝ, identifying the issuing city of Nacrasa, is distributed in the field to the left and right of the central device. The overall composition is characteristic of Lydian civic bronzes associating the city with a serpent cult. |
