| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse grazing to the right occupies the central field, rendered in a naturalistic style characteristic of Alexandrian Troas colonial bronze coinage. Behind the horse stands a herdsman, identified as Ordes, facing right and holding a pedum (shepherd's crook) in his right hand. The colonial legend is distributed around the design, referencing the Augustan foundation of the colony. The scene alludes to the sacred herds of the Troad, a well-established reverse type on the coinage of Alexandria Troas. |

Alexandria Troas retained the right to strike autonomous bronze coinage well into the third century, an unusual privilege tied to its status as a Roman colony — Colonia Alexandria Augusta Troas — granted under Augustus. The city's mint was notably productive under Trebonianus Gallus, whose two-year reign followed the chaos of Decius's death fighting the Goths at Abritus in 251. Provincial issues from this mint are frequently assigned to the Conventus of Adramyteum for administrative purposes, though the coins themselves circulated locally around the Troad.
