| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus enthroned to the left, his powerful semi-draped figure rendered in the classical tradition, extending his right hand to offer a patera above a standing eagle positioned at his feet, while his left hand firmly grasps a long sceptre upright beside him. The deity is seated upon an ornate throne, and the composition fills the field with authority and divine gravitas. The Greek civic legend of Dionysopolis encircles the design within a beaded border, with the value mark Ε (pentassarion) prominently placed in the left field. |

Dionysopolis, a small Black Sea coastal city in Lower Moesia, struck provincial bronze throughout the Severan and Gordian periods largely on its own initiative — the imperial government had little interest in regulating small civic issues of this kind. The Ε in the reverse field is a civic officeholder's mark, likely a magistrate's serial or year-of-issue notation, a practice common to several Moesian and Thracian mints that helps sequence otherwise undated civic bronzes.
The reference VII.2#1643 places this within Jurukova's corpus of Dionysopolitan coinage — a thinly distributed series that survives mostly in Bulgarian museum collections following 19th-century excavations along the Danube littoral.
