You can clearly read the ΣMYPNAIΩΝ to the right of the tripod. But I don't find the magistrate  .

( Ἀρίστων )

In J. G. Milne, "The Autonomous Coinage of Smyrna", NC 1923, 1927, and 1928, there is a list with all magistrates on coins from Smyrna known to him.
There is no ΑΡΙΤΩΝ at all, and no KΡΙΤΩΝ (which also could be a possibility) neither.

Milne mentions ΑΡΙΣΤO (with omikron instead of omega) as the beginning of a name, but this does not occur on Apollo and tripod coins.

So probably we have a new magistrate here.

Why do you not turn the photos--or the coins--so we see them correctly oriented?

[Mack B]

I’m not sure why there rotated I use my phone and there correct in my gallery but the website rotates them. I will take the next picture holding my phone sideways hopefully they won’t post upside down. But I will try and correct it

I usually have to open my photos in paint and resave to prevent the wrong orientation from appearing here.  There might be a simpler way but I could not determine the cause and it works.

Maybe it depends on the size of picture.

These are over 1000 kB.

'Auto-Rotate' is a function of the phone/camera. You should be able to turn it off, depending on the make of phone.

[Molinari]

I’m on a iPhone.  I looked at the setting but I don’t see that option.

[Blayne W]

This is how I turn on/off auto-rotate on the Iphone though sometimes I still have the problem.

Hallo,
the magistrate's name is ΚΡΙΤΩΝ (very rare) and there is an example with this name in Lexicon of Greek Personal Names, V.

On these Apollo tripod coins from Smyrna?

Nobody doubted that ΚΡΙΤΩΝ is an existing Greek name, see e.g. the book ΚΡΙΤΩΝ by Platon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crito
