Reverse description Standing figures of Hygieia and Asclepius facing one another in the field, rendered in the conventional Hellenistic tradition. Hygieia, goddess of health, is depicted draped and holding a serpent, while Asclepius, god of medicine, stands with his characteristic serpent-entwined staff (caduceus or kerykeion). The two figures are shown in close proximity, emphasizing the healing cult associations of the city. A Greek inscription encircles the design, naming the local magistrate responsible for the issue. The overall composition reflects the strong cultural and religious identity of this Lydian civic community.
