| Beschrijving voorzijde | Confronted busts of Emperor Gordian III, laureate, draped and cuirassed, facing right as seen from the front, and Empress Tranquillina, diademed and draped, facing left, their effigies positioned face-to-face at center field. The encircling Greek legend reads ΑΥΤΟΚ Κ Μ ΑΝ ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟΝ ϹΑΒ ΤΡΑΝΚΥΛΛΙΝΑ ϹΕΒ, naming both imperial figures with their respective titulature. The confronted bust arrangement is a distinctive feature of provincial colonial coinage of this period, emphasizing the dynastic pairing of ruler and consort. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nisibis held unusual importance in the Roman east — the city was formally awarded the title of metropolis and colony following Severus Alexander's campaigns, and its coins reflect that layered civic identity with a pride that bordered on insistence. By 243–244, Gordian III was concluding his Persian campaign nearby, and the city's mint activity during this period almost certainly reflects the logistical and political energy surrounding the army's eastern presence. SNG Copenhagen 245 is not a common citation; bronze provincials from Nisibis are genuinely scarce in any systematic collection.
