| Beschrijving keerzijde | The lunar deity Mên stands facing left in full figure, wearing a Phrygian cap and long garment, his right hand extended holding a pine cone and his left hand grasping a long sceptre. His right foot rests upon a bucranium, an ox skull serving as a chthonic symbol commonly associated with Mên in Phrygian cult iconography. The figure is rendered in a frontal-leaning stance typical of provincial Anatolian coinage of the Severan to Gordian periods. The ethnic legend of the city of Hierapolis encircles the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hierapolis in Phrygia — not to be confused with the better-known Syrian city of the same name — struck civic bronze under Philip I during the brief window between his elevation after the murder of Gordian III and his own death at Verona in 249. The city sat within the conventus of Cibyra, an administrative grouping that continued producing local bronze long after most western Anatolian mints had wound down civic coinage, making Hierapolis issues from this period relatively scarce against the broader Philip I provincial output.
