| Reverse description | The lunar deity Mên stands to the left, wearing a Phrygian cap and displaying the distinctive crescent behind his shoulders, a hallmark of his iconography in Lydian provincial coinage. In his right hand he holds a patera over a bull's head placed on the ground, performing a libation, while in his left hand he carries a long spear or sceptre. The reverse field is encircled by a Greek inscription naming the local magistrate responsible for the issue. The composition reflects the strong local religious traditions of the Maeander valley region. |
