| Reverse description | The reverse field contains a multi-line Greek honorific inscription distributed across five lines and enclosed within a laurel wreath, a composition typical of civic neocorate issues from Asia Minor. The legend records the magistrate Aurelius Damas and commemorates Pergamum's distinction as a three-time neocorate city, reflecting the city's prestigious status in the imperial cult. The wreath is tied at the base, and the entire design is contained within a beaded border. The coin displays characteristic heavy patination and surface wear consistent with prolonged circulation. |
