| Beschrijving keerzijde | Heracles depicted standing facing, his head turned to the right, presented in a frontal pose characteristic of provincial Moesian iconography. The hero holds a club resting on the ground in his right hand, while the Nemean lion skin is draped over his left arm. The ethnic legend ΟΔΗϹϹΕΙΤΩΝ, denoting the city of Odessos, is inscribed in the field around the figure, affirming the civic issuing authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Odessos, the Greek colonial city on the Black Sea coast of Moesia Inferior (modern Varna, Bulgaria), maintained a vigorous civic bronze coinage through the Severan and Gordian periods precisely because the Danubian frontier demanded constant troop provisioning. Local bronze filled the small-change gap that imperial silver never adequately covered in the region. Gordian III's reign saw some of the last civic issues from Odessos before the city's autonomous coinage ceased entirely — a casualty of the mid-3rd century administrative and military pressures that ended provincial bronze striking across much of the Balkans.
