| Reverse description | An agonistic crown depicted in three-quarter perspective at centre, adorned with a palm branch projecting upward from within, symbolising victory at the games. Below the crown sits a rectangular tabula ansata inscribed ΧΡVϹΑΝΘΙΝΑ, referencing the Chrysanthina festival games held at Sardis. The surrounding field carries the full civic magistrate legend in Greek, identifying the archon responsible for the issue and asserting the city's twice-neocorate status. The composition is typical of Sardian agonistic reverse types issued under the joint reign of Gordian III and Tranquillina. |
