| Reverse description | The eponymous Amazon Smyrna, legendary founder of the city, depicted standing to the left in dynamic pose, holding in her hands a miniature temple symbolizing the neocorate status of Smyrna, a double axe (bipennis), a pelta (Amazon's crescent shield), and a chlamys draped over her arm. The reverse legend encircles the field in multiple lines, celebrating the city's triple neocorate honour and naming the issuing strategos. The design reflects the civic pride of Smyrna as one of the most distinguished cities of the Asian conventus. |
