| Reverse description | Asclepius, the god of medicine, stands facing with head turned to the left, his body clad in a long himation draped about the lower limbs. He holds his characteristic serpent-entwined staff (the asklepian) upright in his right hand, with a coiled serpent visible along the shaft. The encircling Greek legend names the strategos Aurelius Hermogenes and the civic community of the Hyrcanians, affirming local magisterial authority under the reign of Philip I. |
