| Beschrijving keerzijde | A lion striding to the right, rendered in the conventional Smyrnaean civic type with tail raised and head held forward. The animal is depicted in a naturalistic style characteristic of Ionian civic coinage of the Antonine period. The encircling legend ϹΜΥΡΝΑΙΩΝ, meaning 'of the Smyrnaeans', occupies the field around the type, asserting civic identity. The strike is slightly weak, consistent with the worn dies typical of this series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Smyrna was among the most aggressively competitive cities in Asia Minor when it came to imperial cult honors, and coinage was a primary vehicle for that competition. The city held the rare distinction of being a twice-neokoros — a title granted for hosting an imperial temple — and municipal bronzes of this period were issued partly to assert that status against rival cities like Ephesus and Pergamon. The civic pride embedded in these issues was institutional, not incidental.
