Pupienus and Balbinus reigned together for just 99 days in 238 AD — the so-called Year of the Six Emperors — before being murdered by the Praetorian Guard, who then elevated the young Gordian III. Provincial mints across Asia Minor had barely enough time to produce joint issues before the regime collapsed, making civic bronzes struck in both names genuinely scarce. Prymnessus, a minor Phrygian city whose coinage output was never prolific, added another layer of rarity to an already compressed window of production.
