The device occupies the central field, with the encircling Greek ethnic legend ϹΜΥΡΝΑΙΩΝ distributed around the periphery. The composition is typical of Smyrnaean civic bronzes struck under the Conventus of Smyrna during the reign of Philip I. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Smyrna was among the most aggressively self-promoting cities of the Greek East under Roman rule, having lobbied for and received the title of neokoros — warden of an imperial cult — multiple times by Philip's reign. The city's coinage under Philip I reflects that civic ambition, produced in quantity to circulate locally and advertise Smyrna's privileged relationship with Rome during the short window of his five-year reign.
Philip came to power after arranging, or at minimum facilitating, the murder of Gordian III on campaign in Mesopotamia in 244.
