| Reverse description | A ship's prow facing right, rendered in profile with the characteristic curved stem and decorative aplustre visible at the stern end, evoking the maritime heritage and naval significance of the city of Smyrna. The prow is depicted in a simple but bold style typical of provincial Ionian bronzes of the Hadrianic period. The dedicatory legend ΠΟΛΕΜΩΝ ΑΝΕΘΗΚΕ ϹΜΥΡΝΑΙΟΙϹ surrounds the design in the field, recording the dedication of the coin type by the sophist Polemon to the people of Smyrna. |
