| Obverse description | Radiate and draped bust of the local deity Men-Lairbenos facing right, depicted with a prominent radiate crown emitting multiple rays, flowing hair, and drapery at the shoulder. The legend ΛΑΙΡΒΗΝΟϹ is inscribed around the bust in Greek characters, identifying the syncretic Phrygian-Anatolian deity Lairbenos worshipped at Hierapolis in Phrygia. The portrait is rendered in the provincial Roman style characteristic of Antonine-era Phrygian civic coinage, with bold relief and expressive facial features. |
