| Reverse description | The river god Rhyndakos is depicted in the traditional reclining pose, leaning to the left, his semi-draped figure embodying the personification of the local river. In his raised hand he holds a reed, the classic attribute of river deities in Greco-Roman iconography, while his opposite arm rests upon an overturned vase from which water flows freely, symbolizing the river's source and abundance. The composition fills the field with sculptural confidence typical of high-quality provincial bronze coinage. The ethnic legend of Apollonia ad Rhyndacum is prominently displayed in the field or along the periphery. The reverse reflects the civic pride of the city in its association with the Rhyndakos river. |
