| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two standing female divinities facing one another across the field. To the left, Kore (Persephone) stands facing right, holding a long sceptre in her left hand. To the right, Demeter stands facing left, extending ears of grain and poppy over a lighted altar in the centre ground, while also holding a long sceptre. The composition reflects the importance of the Demeter-Kore cult at Tralles and the broader agricultural and mystery religion traditions of the region. The reverse legend distributed around the field names the grammateus (secretary) Marcus Aurelius Zosimos as the civic magistrate responsible for the issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tralles, a prosperous city in the Maeander valley, held the right to strike civic bronze under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus — one of the last periods in which Asian Greek cities actively exercised that privilege before the collapse of the provincial bronze coinage system in the 260s. The magistrate named in the legend, Aurelius Zosimos, was almost certainly a local notable who paid for or administered the issue as a civic honor, a common arrangement in the conventus of Ephesus. His full tria nomina suggest Roman citizenship, likely acquired within the preceding generation.
