| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust of Gaius Julius Verus Maximus Caesar facing right, presented in three-quarter view from the front. The youthful portrait displays carefully rendered hair and paludamentum over the cuirass, characteristic of provincial bronze coinage of the Severan period. A Greek legend surrounds the bust, running from lower left to upper right within a beaded border. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two goats rearing up on their hind legs facing one another in a heraldic composition, their forelegs raised and heads turned inward; a tall amphora is placed centrally between them, its body resting on a low base. The design is a well-known civic type of Cius referencing local religious or commercial symbolism. The ethnic legend ΚΙΑΝΩΝ is disposed around the field within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cius was an ancient Milesian colony on the Propontis, modern Gemlik in northwestern Turkey, and retained its Greek civic identity deep into the Roman imperial period — issuing bronze on its own authority well into the third century. The coins of Maximinus Thrax from Bithynian civic mints are notably scarce; his reign lasted only three years before he was murdered by his own troops outside Aquileia in 238, cutting short whatever production cycles the eastern provincial workshops had begun.
VI#3086 is the Varbanov reference, a catalog that remains the primary tool for sorting Bithynian provincials despite its known lacunae for rarer civic types.
