Reverse description Two serpents coiled upward in opposing directions, flanking a central bow case (gorytos) adorned with decorative elements. To the left, the city abbreviation ΛAO identifies the mint of Laodikeia; to the right, a winged kerykeion (caduceus) serves as a secondary symbol. Between the confronted heads of the two serpents, the magistrate's name is inscribed in two lines: EYHNOΣ above HPΩΔOY, identifying the issuing authority as Euenos, son of Herodos. The reverse follows the standard cistophoric format established across Attalid and later Roman provincial issues in Asia Minor.
