| Beschrijving keerzijde | Frontal view of a hexastyle or octastyle temple façade with eight fluted columns supporting an elaborate pediment adorned with acroteria; the structure rests on a stepped podium and is depicted in careful perspective, referencing the neocorate temple of the imperial cult at Cyzicus. The Greek legend surrounding the design proclaims the city's neocorate status. The coin's reverse exemplifies the civic pride associated with the right to maintain an imperial cult temple, a prestigious honour conferred upon Cyzicus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyzicus held the rare distinction of multiple neokorate titles — the right to maintain an imperial cult temple — granted by successive emperors as a reward for loyalty and financial contributions to Rome. The plural form ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ in the legend reflects this accumulated status, which the city defended fiercely in civic rivalries with Pergamon and Smyrna. Under Gordian III, provincial bronze production at Cyzicus was substantial, tied partly to the young emperor's Persian campaigns and the logistical demands they placed on Asia Minor's cities.
