| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Augustus facing right, set within a wreath rendered in low relief encircling the entire field. The portrait displays the characteristic classicizing features of Augustan provincial coinage, with close-cropped hair and a youthful, idealized effigy. The wreath frames the bust and serves as the primary decorative border element in lieu of a formal legend on this face. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nysa, seated in the Maeander valley inland from Ephesus, was a prosperous city that had welcomed Roman power early. It retained the right to strike civic bronze under Augustus — a privilege extended selectively across the conventus and never simply assumed. This piece belongs to a municipally controlled issue rather than a provincial one, meaning local magistrates, not Roman administrators, authorized the dies.
The city's name derives from mythological tradition linking it to Dionysus, and Nysa cultivated that identity aggressively in its civic coinage throughout the Augustan period.
