| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus, naked to the waist and wearing a himation over his lower body, stands facing left. In his extended right hand he holds an eagle, while his left hand grasps a long transverse sceptre. Before him, a turreted Tyche — personification of the city — stands facing right, holding an uncertain object in her right hand with her left hand resting upon a sceptre. The composition reflects a standard civic type associating the supreme Olympian deity with the fortune of the polis, as commonly employed on Ionian provincial bronzes. |

Metropolis in Ionia was a minor civic center whose coin output under Trajan was modest and is now poorly documented — the reference corpus remains incomplete for many provincial issues from this conventus. What distinguishes this piece administratively is the ethnic legend ΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ, the genitive plural identifying the issuing civic body, a formula used by smaller Ionian communities asserting municipal identity within the Roman provincial framework without the full apparatus of a neokorate or league affiliation.
The conventus of Ephesus handled judicial and administrative business for a wide sweep of Ionian cities; coins like this one likely circulated within that regional economy rather than traveling far.
