| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, standing in a triga — a three-horse chariot — advancing to the right, holding a victor's wreath in her outstretched right hand and the reins in her left. The dynamic composition conveys motion and imperial triumph, a theme well-suited to the propagandistic coinage of the Koinon of Thessaly under Maximinus Thrax. The reverse legend encircles the field identifying the issuing authority and bearing a numeral. The flan shows typical irregular edges and green patination consistent with prolonged burial. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Koinon of Thessaly was a federally organized league granted the privilege of issuing bronze coinage in the names of reigning emperors, a concession that made its output as much a political act as a monetary one. Maximinus Thrax never visited the Greek provinces — his entire reign was consumed by Rhine and Danube campaigns and, ultimately, the civil war that ended with his murder outside Aquileia in 238.
The Γ control mark indicates a third emission within this imperial pairing, suggesting the Koinon struck multiple runs across the short three-year reign.
