| Reverse description | Hermes, the divine messenger and patron of commerce, depicted standing facing left in the nude, his weight resting on his left leg in a relaxed contrapposto stance. In his extended right hand he holds a purse, symbolizing his role as god of trade and prosperity, while his left hand grasps the caduceus, the serpent-entwined herald's staff that serves as his principal divine attribute. The ethnic legend of the issuing city encircles the field, identifying the coin as a civic issue of Mastaura in Lydia. |
