Very good exemplar of this scarce and interesting issue. In EF-/VF+ condition, it conserved complete details in both sides, bold reliefs and a nice green patina totally natural.
This coin commemorates the first neokorate granted to the phrygian city of Hierapolis. The Neokorate was the main honour that Rome can grant to a hellenistic city.
