| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, draped bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, his hair rendered in short wavy strands characteristic of early Antonine portraiture. The imperial effigy is depicted with the naturalistic detail typical of provincial Greek coinage of the period. A circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait in the field, reading ΑΥ ΚΑΙ (ΑΔ) ΑΝΤΩΝΕΙΝΟϹ, identifying the emperor by his imperial titulature. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with hand-struck provincial bronze coinage of Asia Minor. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Synaus was a minor Lydian settlement whose civic coinage is poorly documented and sparsely represented in major collections. Issues attributed to the opening years of Antoninus Pius's reign — before the provincial minting networks fully realigned under the new administration — tend to be among the scarcest from the Sardis conventus, a judicial district that otherwise produced abundant coinage from more prominent cities like Sardis itself and Philadelphia.
The ethnic ϹΥΝΑΕΙΤΩΝ confirms attribution to the citizen body rather than a magistrate issue, placing this among the more anonymously produced civic bronzes of the period.
