Æ17 - Antoninus Pius ΓΕΡΜΗΝΩΝ, ΦΑΥ (in lower r. field)

Germe was a minor Mysian city in the Pergamene conventus whose civic coinage is sparsely documented and frequently misattributed. The abbreviation ΦΑΥ appearing in the lower right field almost certainly references a local magistrate — a convention common to Asia Minor bronze issues where the abbreviated name of the responsible official anchored civic accountability to the physical coin. Most examples from Germe are poorly struck on irregular flans, a product of modest municipal resources rather than any specific mint disruption.
