| Reverse description | Nude Apollo standing facing, head turned slightly, holding an arrow in one hand and a bow in the other. The figure is rendered in a static, frontal provincial style characteristic of Carian civic bronzes of the Severan period. The Greek legend is distributed in the field and around the periphery, identifying the stephanephoros magistrate and the issuing city. A beaded border frames the design. |

| Additional information |
Attuda was a minor Carian city whose civic coinage under Septimius Severus names a local magistrate — Stephanos Tryphon — in the abbreviated legend wrapping the reverse. These magistrate-named bronzes were a standard exercise in municipal self-assertion under the Severan reorganization of the eastern provinces, where cities competed for honorific titles and minting privileges through the imperial administration at Alabanda.
The conventus system placed Attuda within Alabanda's judicial district, a hierarchy that shaped which cities could issue bronze for local exchange.
