| Reverse description | Ethnic legend ΣΜΥΡ / ΝΑΙΩΝ inscribed in two lines within a large, finely detailed laurel wreath tied at the base, with a magistrate's monogram (MP ligature, referencing the magistrate Metrodoros) placed below the ethnic legend within the wreath. The wreath is tied at the top with a ribbon and rendered with naturalistic leaf detail. The entire composition is contained within the wreath, with no exergue line, in keeping with the standard reverse type of the Smyrnaean stepped-crown tetradrachm series. |
