Reverse description Zeus Lydios depicted standing facing, with head turned to the left, holding a long sceptre in his left hand and a thunderbolt in his outstretched right hand. The deity is rendered in the traditional Lydian provincial style associated with the Sardis mint, reflecting the city's deep religious identity as a twice-neocorate centre. The reverse legend encircles the figure within a beaded border, proclaiming Sardis's honoured status.
