| Beschrijving keerzijde | Laureate head of Germanicus facing left, depicted in the Julio-Claudian commemorative tradition with a well-defined laurel wreath crown and draped bust. The portrait honors Germanicus posthumously, reflecting the dynastic ideology of the Caligula period. The surrounding Greek legend names Germanicus Caesar and identifies the issuing city of Priene, with the inscription distributed evenly around the field. |

Priene's civic coinage under Caligula is notably rare — the city was already in economic decline by the first century AD, its harbor long silted over and trade routes consolidated through Miletus. That Priene struck at all during this reign suggests a deliberate civic gesture, likely tied to the wave of loyalty emissions that swept the Greek east upon Caligula's accession in 37 AD, when cities across the Aegean scrambled to honor the new emperor through local bronze issues.
