| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Heracles facing right, rendered in the local provincial style with heavy patination obscuring fine detail. The portrait is set within a plain field with no border visible. The legend naming the strategos Artemidoros runs around the periphery. The die work is characteristic of the smaller civic bronzes issued under Hadrianic authority in the conventus of Pergamum. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A serpent coiled upright around a domed omphalos, depicted in profile at centre of the field. The omphalos, a sacred stone symbol associated with Apollo and oracular shrines, is shown with its characteristic netting or band decoration. The ethnic legend of the Nacrasians is disposed around the periphery. The composition is centred and typical of civic bronze types from the Pergamene conventus during the Hadrianic period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nacrasa was a minor Lydian city of little strategic consequence, which is precisely why its bronze civic issues under Hadrian are so scarce — the city's limited output has left most major collections without a representative example. Hadrian's provincial tour of Asia Minor in 123–124 AD prompted a wave of local coinage across the conventus of Pergamum, and Nacrasa almost certainly struck in that window.
