| Reverse description | Hecate triformis depicted as a triple-bodied goddess standing facing, her three forms joined at a central pillar, each figure clad in long robes and holding attributes. The triple figuration of Hecate, patron deity strongly associated with crossroads and the chthonic realm, is rendered in the conventional provincial Phrygian style. The ethnic legend of the issuing city encircles the design in the field. |

| Additional information |
Themisonium was a minor Phrygian city whose civic coinage under Philip I represents one of the last gasps of Greek-style provincial bronze before the mint closed permanently — the city essentially disappears from the numismatic record after Philip's reign. The conventus of Philomelium grouped several such small Phrygian centers for administrative purposes under Roman oversight, and coins attributable to Themisonium are genuinely scarce by any measure.
VIII#20693 is a sparsely represented type in major collections.
