| Obverse description | Bare head of Zeus Akraios facing right, rendered in the local Ionian style with broad facial features and flowing hair. The legend ΖΕΥϹ ΑΚΡΑΙΟϹ is placed in the field around the portrait. The die work is characteristic of the civic bronze coinage of Smyrna under Gordian III, with the deity depicted as patron god of the city's acropolis cult. |
