| Beschrijving keerzijde | To the left of the field stands the cult statue of Apollo Smintheus, depicted on a short column, facing right, with a quiver at his shoulder, holding a patera in one hand and a bow in the other. To the right, Alexander the Great is shown on horseback, advancing left, clad in military dress and raising his right arm in a commanding gesture. The composition alludes to the mythological and historical heritage of the Troad region, invoking both divine patronage and Macedonian legacy. The reverse legend COL AVG TRoA encircles the design, identifying the issuing colony. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexandria Troas occupied a strategically critical position on the Troad coast, and its colonial status — granted under Augustus — gave it the right to strike autonomous bronze coinage that persisted well into the Severan period. The city's mint was notably active during Commodus's reign, producing a range of bronze denominations that circulated locally alongside Roman imperial issues. The abbreviation COL AVG TRoA on this type refers to Colonia Augusta Troas, the official colonial title the city carried from its Augustan refoundation.
