| Reverse description | Cybele, the Magna Mater, enthroned and facing left, her figure rendered in the formal hieratic style typical of Lydian civic coinage. She holds a patera in her extended right hand and rests her left arm upon a tympanum set beside her throne. A recumbent lion occupies the ground at her feet to the left, serving as her sacred attribute. The reverse legend, arranged in the field and around the periphery in Greek, records the name of the local strategos responsible for the issue. |
