| Beschrijving keerzijde | Apollo of Grynium rendered standing, facing the viewer, with head turned to the left. The deity extends a patera in one hand over a thymiaterium (incense altar), while the other hand holds a filleted laurel branch, referencing the celebrated oracular sanctuary of Apollo Gryneus in Aeolis. The composition reflects the civic pride of Myrina in the Gryneion cult site located in its territory. |

Myrina's civic bronze issues under Commodus fall within the first years of his sole reign, after the death of Marcus Aurelius in March 180. The strategos named in the legend — whose abbreviated title ΕΠΙ ϹΤΡ precedes the partial name ΑΡΦΟΚΡΑ — served as the locally accountable magistrate whose name guaranteed the issue, a Greek civic practice Rome permitted to continue across Aeolis well into the third century.
The alpha with curved crossbar noted in the legend is a documented epigraphic quirk appearing on select Myrinaean bronzes and can assist in die-linking this piece to a narrower production window within the 180–182 range.
