| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche seated left upon a high-backed throne, her figure draped in flowing robes, holding a small tetrastyle temple model in each outstretched hand — a compositional device symbolising the city of Nicomedia's double neocorate status, i.e. the honour of maintaining two imperial cult temples. A rudder or footstool may be visible beneath her seat. The two temple models, rendered with columned facades, directly reference the civic pride encoded in the reverse legend, which encircles the design along the rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pupienus and Balbinus were co-emperors for just 99 days in 238 AD — the Year of the Six Emperors — before the Praetorian Guard murdered both men and dragged their bodies through the streets of Rome. Provincial mints like Nicomedia, operating on their own production cycles, had little way of anticipating how short the joint reign would prove. The ΔΙϹ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ title in the legend reflects Nicomedia's status as a twice-confirmed neokoros city, an honorific tied to the imperial cult that the city jealously guarded against rival Bithynian centers, particularly Nicaea.
