| Beschrijving keerzijde | Heracles standing facing with head turned to the right, holding a bow in his outstretched right hand and leaning with his left arm upon a club draped with the Nemean lion skin. A bow and quiver are depicted to the left in the field. The composition follows standard Heraclean iconography common to Bithynian provincial coinage, with the ethnic legend ΚΙΑΝΩΝ inscribed around the reverse field identifying the city of Cius as the issuing authority. |

Cius — the ancient harbor city on the Propontis later refounded as Prusias ad Mare — continued striking civic bronze well into the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, a period when the central imperial mint system was under severe stress from simultaneous barbarian incursions across the Danube and Persian campaigns in the east. Provincial cities in Bithynia maintained their own bronze coinage partly to fill the vacuum left by an increasingly debased and unreliable imperial silver supply.
The city's coinage effectively ceased after Gallienus ended most provincial bronze production empire-wide around 268 AD, making this among the final issues from Cius before that curtain fell permanently.
