| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nude figure of Apollo standing to the left, his right foot placed upon an omphalos, leaning forward with his elbow resting upon his raised knee in a contemplative pose. The god holds a laurel branch in his extended hand, a hallmark attribute of his role as deity of prophecy and the arts. The composition reflects the strong local veneration of Apollo at Alexandria Troas, the colonial mint city. The colonial legend COL AVG TROAD is distributed in the field around the figure, affirming the city's status as a Roman colony. |

Alexandria Troas was a Roman colony — Colonia Augusta Troadensis — established under Augustus, which gave the city the unusual right to mint coins using Roman colonial conventions rather than Greek civic types. That colonial status is precisely why this issue exists: the city maintained active bronze production through the Severan period partly to fund and advertise its status as a Roman foundation in a predominantly Greek provincial region. Caracalla's reign saw a broad surge in colonial mint activity across Asia Minor, much of it tied to the fiscal disruptions following his father Septimius Severus's eastern campaigns.
