| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Empress Crispina facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed in the style characteristic of the Antonine period. The effigy occupies the central field, with the Greek legend ΚΡΙϹΠΕΙΝΑ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗ disposed around the periphery. The portrait, though worn, retains the characteristic features of the empress as depicted on provincial coinage of Lydia. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with hand-struck provincial bronze issues of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mastaura was a minor Lydian city in the Cayster River valley, administratively grouped under the conventus of Ephesus for Roman judicial and provincial purposes. Its civic bronze coinage was issued largely to fund local religious festivals and facilitate small transactions the imperial currency system didn't bother serving. The window of 178–180 AD corresponds to the final years of Marcus Aurelius's reign, when the emperor was campaigning on the Danube frontier against the Marcomanni — far removed from the day-to-day affairs of a small Lydian mint.
Mastaura's civic issues from this period are infrequently encountered, a function of limited original production rather than attrition.
