| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of the Senate personified, facing right, with hair elaborately arranged in layered waves and curls, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Hadrianic-era Asia Minor coinage. The figure wears a draped garment visible at the shoulder and chest. The Greek legend ΙΕΡΑ ϹΥΝΚΛΗΤΟϹ ('Sacred Senate') runs around the periphery of the flan. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Heracles depicted nude, standing facing left, extending his right hand forward to present the apple of the Hesperides. His left hand holds his characteristic attributes: a grounded club and the Nemean lion skin draped over his arm. The composition follows a well-established Hellenistic type common in provincial Lydian coinage of the imperial period. The magistrate's name and civic ethnic appear in the surrounding field and exergue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Grimenothyrae was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under Hadrian consistently names a local magistrate — here Asklepiades — in the genitive formula typical of western Anatolian bronze issues. The city held no special imperial favor and left almost no literary record; these coins are often the primary evidence that the polis functioned as an independent issuing authority at all during the Hadrianic period.
