| Reverse description | The serpent-god Glykon, the celebrated oracle deity closely associated with Ionopolis through the cult of Alexander of Abonuteichos, depicted coiling to the left with his distinctive human-faced head raised. The sinuous body of the serpent fills the field, rendered in multiple overlapping coils. The ethnic legend of the issuing city encircles the design. This reverse type is highly distinctive to the Ionopolitan mint, reflecting the city's unique religious identity and its devotion to the Glykon cult. |
