| Reverse description | The infant Zeus is depicted seated on the ground facing left, rendered in a naturalistic style evoking the mythological infancy of the god on Mount Ida in Lydia. Above the figure, an eagle is shown facing outward with head turned to the right, wings spread protectively — a divine symbol closely associated with Zeus and the cult of Sardis. The reverse legend ϹΑΡΔΙΑΝΩΝ Β ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ encircles the design within a beaded border, proclaiming the city's prestigious status as twice neocorate, a mark of imperial favor. |
