| Beschrijving keerzijde | A galley under oars moves to the right, its hull fully rendered with a bank of rowers visible. On the prow stands a Triton, depicted facing right and blowing a conch shell, while on the stern two military standards are erected. This maritime type alludes to the city of Cyzicus's proud naval tradition and its status as a neocorate city. The reverse legend in Greek encircles the scene, identifying the civic community. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyzicus held the rare distinction of multiple neokorate titles — the right to maintain an imperial temple cult — awarded across successive reigns, and the civic pride attached to this status was aggressively broadcast on local bronze coinage. The legend ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ references this accumulated honor directly. Gordian III's reign saw a flurry of such provincial issues as cities competed to display loyalty to a teenage emperor whose legitimacy depended heavily on senatorial and municipal support following the violent ends of Pupienus and Balbinus in 238.
