| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Corinthian helmet and aegis, rendered in the provincial die-cutting style characteristic of Phrygian civic coinage of the first century AD. The goddess is depicted with visible drapery at the shoulder, and the helmet crest extends prominently above the head. The field is plain with no visible legend. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The ethnic legend ΑΠΠΙΑΝΩΝ, identifying the issuing city of Appia in Phrygia, is displayed in three lines within a laurel or oak wreath. The wreath is tied at the base and forms a circular border around the inscription, a standard reverse composition for Phrygian civic bronzes of the Imperial period. The lettering is in Greek capitals and is the sole design element on this side. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Appia was a minor Phrygian city on the road between Synnada and Dorylaion, and its civic bronze issues under Nero are among the more obscure survivals of provincial autonomy in Asia Minor. The city's right to strike bronze — never silver — was a carefully bounded privilege, and issues like this one were produced for purely local exchange, unlikely to travel far beyond the immediate region.
The Greek ethnic ΑΠΠΙΑΝΩΝ locates this firmly within the civic tradition, not imperial mint production.
