| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, stands facing left in full figure at center, rendered in the conventional provincial style. She holds a ship's rudder in her right hand, symbolizing guidance and prosperity, and a cornucopia overflowing with fruits in her left arm, emblematic of abundance. The standing figure is encircled by the Greek civic legend naming the local magistrate Aristonikos and the city of Germe, the inscription distributed around the periphery of the flan. The relief is moderately worn, with the figure's drapery and attributes visible despite surface corrosion. |

Germe was a minor Mysian city whose civic coinage under Gordian III was administered under the magistrate whose name appears in the inscription — a local official whose appointment to oversee the mint was itself a civic honor. The Conventus of Pergamum grouped smaller cities like Germe under Pergamene judicial jurisdiction, and the right to strike bronze was granted selectively; not every city in the conventus exercised it simultaneously. Gordian's reign saw a notable surge in provincial bronze output across Asia Minor, partly filling gaps left by disrupted central supplies during the chaos of 238.
