| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hexastyle temple depicted in frontal elevation, its six columns rising from a stepped stylobate with a pediment above; a cult statue or figure is faintly visible between the central columns. The architectural rendering is typical of civic temple types on Bithynian provincial bronze coinage, referencing a prominent sanctuary at Nicaea. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is placed in the field around the temple, and a dotted border runs along the inner rim of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea's civic bronze issues under Gordian III belong to one of the most prolific municipal minting programs in third-century Bithynia, a province that retained striking rights long after many western cities had lost them. The city's output during this reign was substantial enough that die studies have identified significant variation across the series — VII.2#1930 sits within a well-documented but large family of types.
Gordian III came to power at thirteen, the last emperor to hold the title before the catastrophic instability of the 250s effectively ended most provincial bronze coinage in the Greek east.
