| Obverse lettering | ΙΕΡΑ ϹΥΝΚΛΗΤΟϹ (Translation: Sacred Senate) |
| Reverse description | Apollo standing to the right, holding a plectrum in his extended right hand and a lyre in his left, depicted in a graceful contrapposto pose characteristic of Hellenistic divine imagery. Facing him, the satyr Marsyas is shown bound to a tree, a scene representing the mythological aftermath of their musical contest in which Apollo was victorious. The composition alludes to the god's mastery of music and his divine retribution. The Greek magistrate legend encircles the field, naming the strategos Aelius Aristonikos and the civic ethnicon of the Germeans. |
