| Reverse description | A monumental three-bay triumphal arch dominates the reverse field, surmounted by a facing quadriga with a charioteer flanked by two statues or figures on pedestals at either side. The architectural rendering is typical of colonial Mysian civic coinage of the mid-third century, emphasizing the monumental heritage of the Roman colony of Parium. The colonial abbreviation legend is distributed around the design. The surface is heavily patinated with areas of red cuprite and green patina. |
