| Reverse description | An agonistic stephane crown, depicted as a wreath-decorated prize crown, containing two upright palm branches crossed within its interior, symbolising victory in the sacred games. The crown is centrally placed within the field, with the multi-line Greek legend divided across the upper and lower portions of the reverse, referencing the Sebasta and Caesarea games held at Metropolis. The design is typical of Ionian civic coinage commemorating local agonistic festivals under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus. |
