| Beschrijving keerzijde | Dionysus standing facing, his head turned slightly, holding a cantharus in his raised right hand and a thyrsus in his left; at his feet, a panther recumbent or seated. The composition is characteristic of Dionysiac iconography as employed in the civic coinage of northwestern Asia Minor under the Hadrianic period. The ethnic legend ϹΚΗ-ΨΙΝ is divided to left and right of the figure in the field. |

Scepsis was an ancient Troad city with a peculiar claim to fame: according to Strabo, the library of Aristotle was hidden there by heirs of Theophrastus, stored in a pit to prevent its seizure by Attalid kings, where it remained largely inaccessible for roughly two centuries before surfacing in Rome. A city that once sat on those manuscripts issuing bronze under Hadrian carries a specific kind of historical density that the coin's modest module does nothing to advertise.
