| Beschrijving keerzijde | Apollo Kitharoidos depicted standing in three-quarter view to the right, clad in a long flowing chiton reaching to his feet. The god holds a plectrum in his raised right hand and supports a lyre with his left hand, attributes consistent with his role as divine patron of music and the arts. The figure is rendered in a classical Hellenistic style typical of Phrygian civic bronzes. The ethnic legend of the city of Hierapolis appears in the field around the figure. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hierapolis in Phrygia — not to be confused with the better-known Syrian city of the same name — sat within the conventus of Cibyra, a Roman judicial district organized under the provincial administration of Asia. The city's bronze coinage under Trajan reflects a period of genuine civic prosperity; Hierapolis controlled significant textile and dyeing industries, and its thermal springs drew enough commercial traffic to sustain an active local mint. These civic bronzes circulated almost exclusively within the immediate region, functioning as small-change that never traveled far.
