| Reverse description | Apollo standing facing right, head adorned with a radiate crown, depicted in a frontal or three-quarter stance typical of provincial Lydian coinage. The god holds a plectrum in his extended right hand and a lyre in his left, emblematic of his role as divine patron of music and the arts. The figure is rendered in a somewhat stylised provincial manner consistent with mid-third-century Lydian civic bronzes. The Greek civic and magistrate legend is distributed around the periphery within a beaded border. |
