| Reverse description | Leto seated left upon a throne or rock, holding a patera in her extended right hand and a long transverse sceptre resting over her left shoulder. The figure is rendered in a static, classical style consistent with provincial civic bronzes of Asia Minor. The reverse legend ΛΗΤΩ ΤΡΙΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ is disposed around the field in Greek characters, identifying the deity and the issuing city of Tripolis. The type reflects the local religious veneration of Leto, whose cult had strong roots in the Maeander valley region. |
