Reverse description Full-length standing figure of Amazon Smyrna, the legendary foundress of the city, depicted facing left in the field. She holds a patera in her extended right hand and carries a double axe (labrys) and a pelta (crescent-shaped Amazon shield) along with a chlamys draped over her arm; a ship's prow (rostrum) is placed at her feet, referencing Smyrna's naval prominence. The reverse legend distributed around the field records the city's triple neocorate status and names the strategos Marcus Aurelius Sextus as the presiding magistrate responsible for the coin issue.
