| Beschrijving keerzijde | A warship (galley) with five rowers and a helmsman depicted in profile, sailing to the left, rendered in considerable iconographic detail characteristic of Cyzicene civic pride in its naval heritage. On the prow stands a Triton blowing a conch shell, while two military standards are erected on the stern. The scene evokes the city's celebrated status as a major Propontic naval centre, and the reverse legend encircling the type proclaims Cyzicus's neocorate honour. |

Cyzicus held the title of neokoros — temple warden of the imperial cult — multiple times over, and the city leveraged that status aggressively on its civic bronze. The ΝΕΩΚΟΡ ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ legend advertises that standing directly, a form of civic boosterism common among competing Greek poleis of the Asian conventus during the Severan and post-Severan period, each city jostling for prestige and the economic benefits that came with hosting imperial cult worship.
Gordian III's reign, though brief, generated substantial provincial bronze output across Mysia. The VII.1#21 reference places this within the standard Cyzicus civic series catalogued by the Coin Provincial Romans project.
