| Reverse description | The cult statue of Apollo Smintheus depicted standing atop a short column, oriented to the right; the deity holds a patera in the outstretched hand and a bow in the other, with a quiver visible at the shoulder. This reverse type is a hallmark of the colonial coinage of Alexandria Troas, referencing the celebrated sanctuary of Apollo Smintheus in the Troad region. The reverse legend encircles the field in Latin characters. |
