| Beschrijving keerzijde | Eagle standing to right with head turned back to left and wings displayed open, occupying the majority of the reverse field in a bold, high-relief composition typical of Phrygian civic bronze coinage. The eagle, a symbol of imperial authority and divine favor frequently employed on provincial issues of Asia Minor, is rendered with pronounced feather detailing on the spread wings. The encircling Greek ethnic legend of the Aezanites frames the design around the border of the irregularly shaped flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aezani, situated in Phrygia, was one of the more prosperous cities of the Sardis conventus, its wealth rooted in a thriving wool trade and underpinned by some of the best-preserved temple architecture in all of Asia Minor. Civic bronze continued to be struck there into the sole reign of Gallienus, years during which the Roman state was under extraordinary military strain — the Alamanni had broken into Italy, Postumus had split off the Gallic Empire, and Odaenathus of Palmyra was effectively running the eastern frontier independently.
Aezani's mint activity under Gallienus places this piece in the final generation of Greek Imperial civic coinage before the practice collapsed entirely across Asia Minor.
