| Reverse description | A war galley (trireme or bireme) depicted sailing to the right, rendered in profile with oars indicated along the hull and a curved prow and stern. The vessel alludes to Smyrna's proud maritime heritage and naval prominence in the eastern Aegean. The encircling Greek legend ϹΜΥΡΝΑΙΩΝ occupies the periphery of the field. The design is typical of civic bronze issues struck under Roman imperial authority during the mid-third century AD. |
