| Reverse description | A griffin recumbent to the left, depicted with folded wings raised above its leonine body and an eagle's head with open beak, the creature shown in a resting pose with forepaws extended. The griffin, a long-standing civic emblem of Assus in the Troad, dominates the central field. The ethnic legend of the city appears in the field or around the periphery. The provincial engraving displays the characteristic vigour of local Flavian-era bronze coinage from Asia Minor. |
