| Beschrijving keerzijde | Cybele, the Phrygian mother goddess, enthroned and seated left upon a throne, holding a patera in her extended right hand and resting her left arm upon a tympanum. At her feet crouches a lion facing left, her sacred animal and cult attribute. The composition is rendered in a provincial style typical of the Sardis conventus workshops, with the Greek civic legend disposed around the field identifying the magistrate and city. |

Ancyra in Lydia — not to be confused with the Galatian capital — struck civic bronze under local magistrates whose names appear prominently on the coinage as a mark of municipal pride and administrative accountability. Apollophanes, named here as the issuing authority, is otherwise unattested in surviving literary sources. The magistrate title and ethnic together functioned as the city's guarantee of the issue, a practice that gave Lydian civic bronzes their documentary value alongside their monetary one.
