| Beschrijving keerzijde | The river god Hermos reclines to the left in a languid pose characteristic of Hellenistic and Roman provincial personifications of rivers. He holds a reed in one hand and rests his arm upon an overturned urn or vase from which water flows, symbolising the river's source. The figure is rendered semi-nude with drapery across the lower body. The encircling legend ΜΑΓΝΗΤΩΝ ϹΙΠΥΛΟΥ in Greek characters identifies the issuing community as the Magnetes at Sipylum. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Magnesia ad Sipylum, a Lydian city on the Hermus River, held religious significance as one of the claimed sites of Niobe's transformation — a detail local civic coinage periodically exploited for prestige. Under Severus Alexander, provincial bronze production across the Smyrna conventus intensified as the emperor's relatively stable thirteen-year reign allowed civic mints unusual continuity. The VI#4660 reference places this within a well-catalogued but sparsely populated type; individual die studies for Magnesian bronzes of this period remain incomplete.
