| Reverse description | Isis standing left in long robes, her right hand raised aloft holding a sistrum and her left hand lowered holding a situla (water bucket), both attributes closely associated with her Egyptian cult. The figure is rendered in the conventional provincial style of the Conventus of Smyrna under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus. The legend ΠΩΛΛΑ ΚΥΜΑΙΟΙϹ surrounds the field, indicating a benefaction or dedication by a figure named Polla to the citizens of Cyme. The coin surface is heavily worn and encrusted, consistent with extended circulation and prolonged burial. |
