Descrizione del rovescio	The paired piloi (conical caps) of the Dioskouri displayed side by side in the central field, each surmounted by a star, serving as the divine emblems of Castor and Pollux. A magistrate's name appears in the upper field above the piloi. The civic ethnic legend ΤΑΒHNΩΝ is inscribed in Greek characters along the lower exergual area, identifying the issuing city of Tabae in Karia.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Tabae, a minor Carian city in the upper Kazanpazarı valley, issued pseudo-autonomous bronzes under this format during the period of Roman provincial reorganization in Asia Minor — coins struck in the city's own name rather than under an imperial portrait, a municipal assertion of civic identity that Roman administration generally tolerated in the eastern provinces. The attribution to SNG Copenhagen 521 anchors this to a well-documented but sparsely represented type; Tabae's output was never large, and the city itself appears infrequently in the epigraphic record.
