| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Empress Salonina facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed and bound with a diadem, rendered in the provincial Greek style characteristic of Epirote civic coinage of the mid-third century AD. The effigy is depicted with the neck and upper drapery visible, the portrait facing right within the coin field. The surrounding circular legend reads ΚΟΡ ϹΑΛωΝΕΙΝΑ ϹΕΒ(Α), identifying the empress as Augusta. The coin's surfaces show a green patina consistent with prolonged burial, with the portrait details partially worn but the general composition discernible. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicopolis ad Isthmon — distinct from the more prolific Nicopolis ad Mestum in Moesia — struck provincial bronzes under the joint reign of Valerian I and his son Gallienus during one of the Roman Empire's most chaotic stretches: the opening phase of the Crisis of the Third Century. Valerian's capture by the Sasanian king Shapur I at Edessa in 260 AD effectively ended this joint coinage, making issues attributable to the co-reign a terminus ante quem that requires no guesswork.
The "A" designation indicates the smallest denomination in the local civic series.
