| Reverse description | The goddess Selene-Hecate advancing to the right, her head turned back to the left, holding a lighted torch in each outstretched hand; a crescent moon is visible behind her shoulders, identifying the deity with her lunar aspect. The figure is rendered in the flowing drapery typical of Lydian provincial bronze coinage, conveying dynamic movement. The ethnic legend of the issuing city encircles the reverse field. |

| Additional information |
Thyatira was a Lydian city with an unusually dense concentration of trade guilds — wool-workers, dyers, leather-workers, bronze-smiths — and civic bronze coinage from the city functioned largely within that commercial ecosystem rather than for broad regional circulation. Issues tied to Commodus's consulships in the mid-180s helped date this group, though attribution between Thyatiran emissions remains contested due to shared die-cutters working across the Pergamene conventus.
