| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hephaestus, the divine smith, seated to the right upon a low seat, depicted in the act of forging a round shield placed upon an anvil before him; he holds a hammer raised in his right hand and uses tongs in his left to steady the work. The scene is rendered with characteristic provincial iconographic vigor, conveying the mythological associations of divine craftsmanship. The reverse legend encircles the type in a continuous Greek inscription naming the local magistrate and the civic community. |

Temenothyrae was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under Philip I coincides almost exactly with his reign — the city appears to have struck bronze almost exclusively during the mid-third century, making issues from this period the primary numismatic record of the town's existence. The magistrate name ΝΕΙΚΟΜΑΧΟϹ appearing in the legend identifies a local archon responsible for authorizing the issue, a practice common to the conventus of Sardis where civic autonomy in bronze coinage was tightly bound to named magistracies.
The city is sometimes identified with modern Sivaslı in Turkey's Uşak province.
