Æ33 - Macrinus ΠΡΟΥϹΙΕΩΝ ΠΡΟϹ ΥΠΙΩ

Prusias ad Hypium, a Bithynian city on the Hypius river, struck coins almost continuously under Roman imperial rule but left remarkably sparse documentation — municipal issues like this one survive largely through the coins themselves rather than literary sources. Macrinus reigned barely fourteen months after engineering the assassination of Caracalla, and provincial mints across Bithynia had little time to develop extensive series before his defeat by Elagabalus in June 218.

The brevity of his reign makes any Macrinus provincial bronze scarcer by default than comparable Severan issues from the same city.
