| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nike, the goddess of victory, stands facing left in full figure, her garments rendered in flowing drapery typical of Antonine provincial bronzes. She extends her right arm to hold a wreath or small Nike figure (partially legible due to wear), while her left hand carries a long palm branch resting against her shoulder. The reverse legend ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗ, meaning Augusta, is distributed around the field, associating the victory type with the imperial cult. The figure is rendered in a compact, somewhat schematic provincial style consistent with the Amastrian mint output of the mid-second century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amastris was a coastal city on the Black Sea founded by the niece of Darius III, later absorbed into Bithynia under Roman provincial administration. Under Antoninus Pius the city enjoyed a period of relative prosperity, issuing a range of civic bronzes — this being among the smaller denominations — that circulated locally alongside official Roman coinage without ever reaching wider distribution. The city's isolated position on the Pontic coast meant these issues stayed close to home.
