| Beschrijving keerzijde | Asclepius, the god of medicine, standing facing with head turned to the left, robed in a himation draped over the lower body, his right arm resting upon a tall serpent-entwined staff (the caduceus of Asclepius). The figure is depicted in a calm, frontal stance typical of Hellenistic divine iconography. The magistrate legend ΕΠΙ ϹΤΡ(Α) ΚΛ ΠΡΟΚΛΟΥ ϹΟΦΙϹΤΟΥ ϹΜΥΡ is distributed around the field within a beaded border, referencing the strategos Claudius Proclus Sophistes of Smyrna. |

Proklos the Sophist held the position of asiarch or grammateus at Smyrna during the early Antonine period, and his name appearing prominently in the coin's legend reflects the Greek East's deeply entrenched practice of tying civic coinage to prominent local magistrates — men whose personal prestige and financial contributions to the mint often determined whether an issue was struck at all. Smyrna was one of the wealthiest and most competitive cities in Asia Minor, locked in perpetual rivalry with Ephesus and Pergamon over the title of "First City of Asia."
