| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nemesis standing facing, head turned to the left, rendered in the typical provincial style of Sinopean civic coinage. The goddess holds a cubit rule (ulna) in her extended hand, serving as an attribute of divine retribution and justice. At her feet, a wheel — a secondary attribute of Nemesis — is depicted in the lower field. The reverse legend, incorporating the city's ethnic abbreviation and the local era date (year 305 of the Pontic era, corresponding to AD 235–236), surrounds the figural type. |

Sinope's civic bronze issues under Maximinus Thrax are among the more precisely datable provincial coins in the eastern series. The city's era — the Colonian Era of Sinope, reckoned from 47 BC following Julius Caesar's refoundation of the colony — places CCCV at 258/259 of that reckoning, which aligns squarely with the earliest years of Maximinus's reign, 235–236 AD. Maximinus never visited the eastern provinces; his brief, violent rule was spent almost entirely campaigning on the Rhine and Danube frontiers, making his portrait on eastern civic bronzes a purely administrative acknowledgment rather than any reflection of local loyalty.
