The deity holds a patera in his extended right hand and grasps a tall sceptre upright in his left hand. The throne is depicted with visible legs beneath the seated figure. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is distributed around the field, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea's civic bronze coinage under Maximinus Thrax occupies an awkward political moment: the emperor was never recognized as legitimate by the Senate, yet provincial mints across Bithynia continued striking in his name without interruption. Maximinus never visited the eastern provinces — he spent his entire reign campaigning on the Rhine and Danube frontiers before his troops murdered him outside Aquileia in 238.
The ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ ethnic confirms civic, not imperial, mint authority — Nicaea administered its own bronze production throughout this period.
