| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing cult statue of Apollo Smintheus depicted in full-length figure to the right, elevated upon a short column or base. The deity bears a quiver over the shoulder, holds a patera in the outstretched hand, and a bow is positioned over a lighted tripod in the field. The composition reflects the important local veneration of Apollo Smintheus at Alexandria Troas and its surrounding region. The colonial legend encircles the reverse type, affirming the city's status as a Roman colony. |

Alexandria Troas held the privileged status of a Roman colonia — formally Colonia Alexandria Augusta Troas — granted by Augustus, which gave it the right to issue bronze coinage in its own name rather than under the Greek civic tradition. That colonial autonomy is precisely why the reverse legend reads as an abbreviation of the colony's title rather than a standard Greek ethnic. Caracalla is known to have visited the city, and ancient sources including Dio suggest he developed an unusual attachment to the site, reportedly planning urban improvements there.
