Reverse description Zeus enthroned left, depicted as a majestic seated figure with bare torso and drapery over his lower body, holding a long transverse sceptre in his left hand. The reverse legend, distributed around the field and referencing the local magistrate Hermogenes, strategus Scribonios Klaros, and the city ethnic ΖΜΥΡ, attests to the civic pride and administrative authority of Smyrna. The type is characteristic of the city's coinage, drawing on the cult of Zeus as a major deity of the Smyrnaean religious tradition.
