| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Delphic tripod occupies the central field, with a serpent coiling upward around its legs and a branch resting within the bowl of the tripod, referencing the oracular sanctuary and its Apollonian symbolism. The design is characteristic of the civic coinage of Nicopolis ad Istrum or Nicopolis in Epirus, evoking the religious prestige of the issuing city. The Greek legend ΙΕΡΑϹ ΝΕΙΚΟΠΟΛΕΩϹ, meaning 'of sacred Nicopolis,' is disposed around the type in the field. |

Nicopolis ad Istrum — the city whose magistrates authorized this issue — was a Moesian foundation, not the Actium-founded Nicopolis in Achaea that the catalog's regional attribution suggests. The two cities are routinely conflated. During Gordian III's reign, the Moesian city maintained an active civic bronze coinage under a series of named magistrates, with individual issues distinguishable by the magistrate's name in the legend — a detail that, if legible, anchors this piece to a specific administrative moment in the province.
