Reverse description A large coiled serpent, depicted in right profile, fills the central field, its body rendered in multiple coils with the head raised. The encircling Greek legend ΙΕΡΑΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ runs around the periphery within a dotted border, identifying the issuing city and asserting its neocorate status. The serpent is a well-attested civic symbol at Hierapolis in Phrygia, associated with the city's cultic traditions.
