| Reverse description | A crescent and an eight-rayed star occupy the central field of the reverse, serving as civic symbols of Prusias ad Hypium. The crescent is rendered with its horns pointing upward, and the star is positioned prominently within or above it. The ethnic legend of the issuing city encircles the design in the outer field. The composition is characteristic of Bithynian provincial bronzes of the Severan period, combining celestial symbolism with civic identity. |
