| Reverse description | Two prize crowns (stephanoi agonistikoi) displayed side by side on low bases or tables, the left crown adorned with a palm branch symbolizing athletic victory, and the right crown decorated with apples, referencing the sacred games of Prusa ad Olympum. The arrangement alludes to the ΙΕΡΟΙ ΑΓΩΝΕϹ, the sacred athletic contests celebrated in the city. A Greek legend is disposed around the field, with partial inscription visible in the lower portion of the coin. The composition is typical of civic agonistic reverses from Bithynian cities under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus. |
