| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, depicted from behind, showing the paludamentum fastened at the shoulder and the scale armour of the cuirass in detail. The imperial effigy is rendered in the provincial style typical of Mysia, with the legend disposed around the periphery of the flan. The coin exhibits an irregular, somewhat ovoid flan characteristic of provincial bronze coinage of the mid-third century AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyzicus held the rare distinction of being a multiple neokorate city — its coins bearing the ΝΕΩΚΟ legend (short for νεωκόρος) advertised its status as an official keeper of an imperial cult temple, a title granted by Rome and fiercely guarded as a mark of civic prestige. By Gordian III's reign, Cyzicus had held the neokorate multiple times, and the city's bronze issues functioned partly as local propaganda reinforcing that standing within the conventus system.
The reference VII.1#24 places this within the standard corpus for Mysian civic bronzes, a series where die linkage studies have revealed surprisingly small production runs for individual types.
