The legend identifies the strategos Kallikles, son of Kallistratos, of the Siblianoi, serving as civic magistrate. The lettering is set within a beaded border and executed in the compact, somewhat irregular style characteristic of small provincial bronze coinage of the Augustan period. |

| Additional information |
Siblia was a minor Phrygian community whose civic coinage is documented in only a handful of types, all falling within the Augustan period. RPC I 3149 is one of the rarest of these, with very few specimens recorded — the magistrate name ΚΑΛΛΙΚΛΗΣ ΚΑΛΛΙΣΤΡΑΤΟΥ appears on no other known issue, making this a single-attestation coinage for that individual's tenure.
