| Beschrijving keerzijde | Cybele, the Phrygian mother goddess, seated left on a throne, holding a patera in her extended right hand and resting her left arm upon a tympanum (drum). A lion, emblematic of the goddess, is depicted at her feet facing left with its right forepaw raised, a motif closely associated with the cult of Cybele at Smyrna. The reverse legend COS III appears in the field, referencing Hadrian's third consulship. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Smyrna was among the most politically assertive cities in the conventus system, aggressively cultivating imperial favor through coin issues and was awarded the title of "first city of Asia" — a designation it contested bitterly with Ephesus and Pergamon for generations. The COS III designation places this issue within the reign of Commodus, not Hadrian, who died in 138 AD; the "Hadrian" attribution almost certainly refers to the honorific name the city applied to its own magistrates or cult titles rather than the emperor himself.
