| Reverse description | Athena depicted standing, facing, with head turned to the left, extending her right arm toward a serpent coiling upon a flaming altar; her left arm rests upon a shield set at her side. The composition reflects the close association of Athena with the healing cult of Cos, the island celebrated as the birthplace of Hippocrates and home of the distinguished physician Xenophon. The ethnic legend of the Coans appears in the field. The type is characteristic of civic bronze coinage struck under Antoninus Pius. |
