| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two standing female deities occupy the reverse field in a homonoiia type composition. At left, Athena stands facing, her head turned to the right, holding a patera in her extended right hand and a spear in her left; at right, Tyche stands facing left, wearing a kalathos on her head and holding a ship's rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left. The pairing of Athena and Tyche alludes to the homonoiia (concord) between Smyrna and Athens, as explicitly declared in the reverse legend. The figures are rendered in the fluid, classicising style characteristic of high-quality Smyrnaean civic bronze coinage of the Antonine period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The homonoia (ΟΜΟ) designation on this issue records a formal friendship alliance between Smyrna and Athens — a civic relationship the Smyrnaeans cultivated aggressively during the second century as part of their competition with Ephesus and Pergamon for prestige and Roman favor. Smyrna had been granted the title of "first city of Asia" under Hadrian, and these alliance coinages were a deliberate tool of soft diplomacy, advertising Smyrna's pan-Hellenic connections to anyone handling the bronze.
The magistrate named in the obverse legend, Herakleides, is otherwise unattested outside the coin series itself.
