| Beschrijving keerzijde | The river-god Hermos reclines to the left, depicted as a mature bearded male figure in the classical personification tradition of provincial coinage. He holds a long reed diagonally over his shoulder with his right hand, while his left arm rests upon an overturned water-urn from which water flows, symbolising the river's source. The figure is shown semi-recumbent, and the Greek legend naming both the deity and the issuing city appears in the field around the type. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Magnesia ad Sipylum sat in the Hermus River valley beneath Mount Sipylus, a city whose civic identity was inseparable from its mythological geography — the mountain above it was where Niobe was said to have wept herself into stone. During the joint reign of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, and later Commodus as co-emperor, provincial bronze issues like this one were entirely a civic prerogative, funded and authorized locally with no obligation to Rome beyond acknowledging the reigning emperor's name.
The curved-bar alpha (Α) in the legend is a regional epigraphic habit worth noting for die attribution work within this series.
