| Reverse description | Octastyle temple depicted in elevation with a wreath displayed in the pediment, rendered in detailed architectural style characteristic of Mysian civic bronzes. To the right of the temple stands a building with a doorway. Above the temple cornice, three statues of Demeter carrying torches are arranged across the top of the composition. On either side of the temple, a flaming torch entwined by a serpent is depicted, emphasizing the chthonic and mystery-cult associations of the sanctuary. The magistrate's name and the city's double neocorate status appear in the reverse legend. |
