Beschrijving keerzijde A horseman advances to the right, seated upon a galloping horse, raising a double axe (labrys) aloft in his right hand. The figure is rendered in a dynamic provincial style characteristic of Phrygian civic coinage. The ethnic legend of the Stectorians encircles the type, with the final two letters ΩΝ struck in retrograde, a known die peculiarity of this issue. The exergue appears to contain a partial inscription or control mark.

Aanvullende informatie

Stectorium was a minor Phrygian settlement whose civic coinage output was thin even by the standards of small Anatolian poleis — most of its known types cluster tightly around the Severan dynasty, suggesting the city's minting activity was essentially confined to that window. The retrograde ΩΝ on the ethnic is not a blunder in any derogatory sense; retrograde letter sequences appear occasionally in provincial bronze when individual letter punches were set into the die without a mirror-correction step, a workshop oversight rather than an error of ignorance.

VI#5686 is among the scarcer Stectorian references in the Conventus of Apamea grouping.
