| Beschrijving keerzijde | Dionysus, the patron deity of Nysa, stands facing left in a relaxed contrapposto pose, his right hand resting upon a tall thyrsus and his left hand extended holding a cantharus. A panther, sacred to Dionysus, is positioned to the left of the figure, a standard iconographic pairing on Nysaean civic bronzes. The reverse legend, arranged around the field, records the name of the local grammateus Aurelius Dionysios under whose civic authority the issue was struck, reflecting the standard administrative formula of the Ephesus conventus. The type affirms Nysa's long-standing mythological association with Dionysus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nysa-Scythopolis in the Maeander valley minted heavily under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, leveraging the imperial co-regency to issue coins in both emperors' names simultaneously — a practice that effectively doubled a city's flattery output without doubling the political risk. The magistrate named in the legend, Aurelius Dionysios, appears on a tight cluster of issues from this period, suggesting a single term of office rather than a recurring appointment.
Valerian's capture by Shapur I at the Battle of Edessa in 260 AD abruptly ended co-regency coinage across the eastern provincial mints.
