| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Empress Sabina facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed in the Hadrianic fashion with waves and bun. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style typical of Asia Minor civic coinage, with the drapery visible at the truncation. The encircling Greek legend names the empress with her imperial title, distributed around the periphery of the flan. |

Aezanis, a Phrygian city in the conventus of Sardis, was among the more prosperous inland communities of Roman Asia Minor, its civic coinage under Hadrian reflecting the administrative reorganization that followed Trajan's death in 117. The magistrate name ΜΗΤΡΟΓΕΝΟΥϹ — Metrogenous — appears on a narrow range of Hadrianic bronzes from the city, making him one of the more precisely datable stratēgoi in the local series. Aezanis is better known to archaeologists than numismatists; its Temple of Zeus, unusually well-preserved, served simultaneously as a grain market.
