| Reverse description | Frontal cult statue of Aphrodite of Aphrodisias, depicted in the distinctive xoanon-like form characteristic of this sanctuary, standing rigidly erect with arms extended outward. The idol is rendered in the archaic Anatolian tradition, adorned with multiple registers of relief decoration on the body. Above the statue, a star and crescent appear in the upper field, flanking the deity. The surrounding legend names the local magistrate responsible for the coin's issue. The overall composition reflects the civic pride of Aphrodisias in its patron deity. |
