| Reverse description | Cybele, the Phrygian mother goddess and principal deity of Smyrna, is depicted enthroned and facing left, holding a patera in her extended right hand while resting her left elbow upon a tympanum. A lion, her sacred animal, reclines at her feet to the left, reinforcing her divine attributes. The composition reflects the strong civic identity of Smyrna and its devotion to Cybele, consistent with the city's well-established iconographic tradition on provincial bronze coinage. The reverse legend in Greek encircles the scene, referencing the city's prestigious titles of first of Asia and triple neocorate. |
