| Beschrijving keerzijde | Asclepius, god of medicine, stands facing with head turned to the left, his right hand resting on a serpent-entwined staff (caduceus); to his right stands Hygieia, goddess of health, facing right, extending a patera from which she feeds the serpent coiling up from her arm. The two deities are depicted in a balanced, confronted composition typical of Phrygian civic coinage. The ethnic legend of the Bruzians appears in the field, with the final three letters ΝΩΝ rendered in retrograde. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bruzus was a minor Phrygian settlement whose civic coinage output was modest even by provincial standards, and issues under Maximinus Thrax are accordingly scarce. The retrograde NΩN in the ethnic ΒΡΟΥΖΗΝΩΝ points to a die-cutter error — not a deliberate variant — and parallels in the series suggest the reverse die was used without correction, meaning every coin struck from it carries the same mistake.
Maximinus never visited the eastern provinces; his three-year reign was consumed almost entirely by military campaigns on the Rhine and Danube before his murder outside Aquileia in 238.
