| Reverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing left, executed in the Greek divine portrait tradition consistent with provincial bronze coinage of Asia Minor. The deity is depicted with the characteristic laurel wreath and mature, bearded features associated with Zeusian iconography in Hellenistic numismatic art. The surrounding legend names the local magistrate Gessios Charidemos and identifies the issuing city of Adramyteum, following standard provincial eponymous magistrate coinage practice. |
