The reverse of this interesting issue shows us a female cult statue, most likely that of Nemesis, as she appears to be accompanied by a griffin and a wheel while holding a rod before her head. The addition of a crescent and star to the left and the right of the statue indicates that the die cutter was influenced by the well-known renderings of the cult statue of Artemis Pergaia within a distyle aedicula on coins from the nearby city of Perge (see Leu 3, 2018, 177 for a particularly impressive example)
