| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bull and a horse stand facing one another in the central field, rendered in a provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage. Above the two animals, a radiate head of Helios faces right, serving as a divine emblem above the confronted beasts. The Greek ethnic legend of the Nicaeans encircles the design along the periphery of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea's civic bronze issues under Maximinus Thrax occupy an awkward political moment: the emperor was never recognized as legitimate by the Senate until military necessity forced their hand, and provincial mints like Nicaea continued striking in his name throughout the usurpation period without interruption. Maximinus never visited the eastern provinces — he spent his entire reign campaigning on the Rhine and Danube frontiers before his troops mutinied and killed him outside Aquileia in 238.
The VI#3294 reference places this within Voegtlin's corpus of Bithynian civic bronzes, a notoriously difficult series to attribute cleanly given die-sharing between Nicaean workshops.
