| Beschrijving keerzijde | The lunar deity Mên depicted standing to the left in full figure, clad in a short chiton and wearing a Phrygian cap, with a crescent at his shoulders. In his right hand he holds a pine cone and in his left a tall sceptre. The encircling Greek legend around the field records the city's double neocorate status, attesting to Sardis's pride as a twice-honoured imperial cult centre. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sardis held the neokorate — the right to maintain an imperial temple cult — twice over by Gordian III's reign, a distinction fiercely competed for among cities of the Lydian conventus and awarded by the Roman Senate. The Β ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ designation on this issue is a pointed civic boast, advertising that status to anyone handling the coin across the region.
