| Opschrift voorzijde | IMP MAXIMINVS PI(VS) A(V) (Translation: Emperor Maximinus Pious Augustus) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Capitoline she-wolf (lupa Romana) strides to the right, head turned back to the left in the canonical nursing pose, suckling the twin infants Romulus and Remus who are depicted beneath her. The type evokes the legendary foundation of Rome and asserts the colony's Roman identity. The colonial legend is distributed in the lower field and exergue, boldly identifying the issuing authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Maximinus Thrax never visited Alexandria Troas, yet the city minted prolifically in his honor — almost certainly to demonstrate loyalty to an emperor whose legitimacy was contested from the moment he seized power after the assassination of Severus Alexander in 235. As a colonia with longstanding prestige derived from its Augustan foundation, the city held the right to strike bronze coinage, a privilege it exercised aggressively under the Severans and their successors.
The COL AVG TRO legend reflects the colony's formal title, Colonia Augusta Troas, granted under Augustus as part of his reorganization of the Troad region.
