| Obverse lettering | ΑΥ Γ ΙΟΥ ΟΥΗ ΜΑΞΙΜΕΙΝΟϹ (Translation: Emperor Gaius Julius Verus Maximinus) |
| Reverse description | Leander swimming rightward through stylized waves toward a tower at left, upon whose summit Hero stands facing left, extending a lamp to guide the swimmer. The mythological scene of Hero and Leander — set at the Hellespont, the very strait upon which Abydus was situated — alludes directly to the city's legendary geography. The ethnic legend ΑΒΥΔΗΝΩ appears in the field, referencing the Abydenians as the issuing civic authority. |
