| Reverse description | Central type depicting a tall, multi-tiered agonistic crown or stephanos set upon a low base, flanked by two upright palm branches — the canonical prize crown symbolizing athletic and sacred festival victory. The crown contains the inscribed contest name ΘΕΟΓΑΜΙΑ (Theogamia), referring to the sacred marriage festival celebrated at Nysa. The surrounding field legend, partially distributed in the exergue and periphery, names the civic grammateus responsible for the coinage issue. The reverse composition follows the standard agonistic type widely employed by Lydian cities under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus. |
