| Reverse description | Hygieia, the goddess of health, standing to the right, clad in a long chiton and himation, extending a patera in her right hand from which a large serpent, coiling upward from the ground before her, feeds. The reverse type reflects the strong cult association of Hygieia with the civic religious life of Mesembria. The ethnic legend of the issuing city is inscribed around the field. |
