| Reverse description | Heracles standing facing, head turned to the right, the Nemean lion skin draped over his shoulders, holding a cantharus in one hand and his club in the other; a bow and quiver are visible at his feet. Opposite him, Dionysus stands to the left, extending a cantharus above a panther crouched at his feet and holding a thyrsus in his other hand. The juxtaposition of the two deities reflects the syncretic religious imagery favoured in Lydian civic coinage of the Severan period. A two-line Greek legend in the field and around the periphery records the name of the presiding magistrate and the city's neocorate status. |
