| Reverse description | To the left, the cult statue of Apollo Smintheus stands atop a short column, facing right, with a quiver at his shoulder, holding a patera in his extended right hand and a bow in his left. To the right, Alexander the Great is depicted on horseback, moving left, clad in military dress with his right arm raised in a commanding gesture. The composition references the mythological and historical foundations of the colony, linking it to both the Apolline cult and Alexandrine heritage. The peripheral legend COL AVG TR(O) identifies the mint as the Augustan colony of the Troad. |
