| Reverse description | The reverse displays a standing figure, likely the deified Apatourios, rendered schematically in low relief consistent with small-denomination hammered bronze coinage. The figure appears frontal or slightly turned, with drapery folds visible in the field. The Greek ethnic legend ΣMYΡNAIΩN is distributed around the field, with the magistrate or deity name AΠATOYΡIOΣ also present. The flan surface is heavily worn and encrusted, partly obscuring the full detail of both the figure and the surrounding inscription. |
