| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, standing to the right in full figure, holding a wreath extended in her right hand and a long palm branch in her left. The figure is rendered in the conventional provincial style of Pontic civic bronzes. The encircling Greek legend references the city of Amisus with its status as a free city and bears the civic era date ϹΜΗ (year 248 of the Pontic era, corresponding to 216-217 AD). The field is heavily worn and the flan exhibits the irregular edges typical of hammered provincial coinage. |

The dating formula ΕΤ ϹΜΗ places this issue in year 248 of the Pontic Era, corresponding to 216–217 AD — the final year of Caracalla's reign before his murder on the road to Carrhae in April 217. Amisus had held its status as a free city (ΕΛΕΥΘ) since Julius Caesar confirmed its liberties, a privilege it jealously maintained on its coinage for over two centuries. That autonomy allowed the city to control its own bronze issues without direct Roman mint supervision.
