| Reverse description | The river god Smardos is depicted reclining to the left in the classical tradition of personified waterways, his semi-recumbent figure supported by a large water urn from which a stream flows. He holds a reed in one hand, attributes emblematic of a river deity. A bird is shown beside him in the field, a detail characteristic of Phocaean civic reverse types. The composition fills the flan with confident provincial die-cutting, and the full magistrate and civic legend encircles the design. |
