Æ29 - Maximinus ΕΠΙ Π ΑΙΛ ΕΡΜΑΦΙΛΟΥ Α ΑΡΧ ϹΤΕΦ ΤΟ Β ΚΟΤΙΑΕΩΝ

Cotiaeum, a Phrygian city on the road between Dorylaeum and Synnada, minted this bronze under the magistracy of P. Ael. Hermaphilos — the title indicating his second term as stephanephoros, the civic crown-bearer, a position that carried both religious and administrative weight in Asia Minor's municipal hierarchy. The office often fell to wealthy local elites who funded the minting costs directly.

Maximinus Thrax never visited the eastern provinces during his three-year reign, spending it entirely on the Rhine and Danube frontiers before his murder outside Aquileia in 238.
