| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, is depicted in dynamic motion driving a biga (two-horse chariot) to the right. In her right hand she holds a victory wreath, while her left hand grasps both a palm branch and the reins of the galloping horses, symbolizing triumph and imperial glory. The Greek civic legend of Amisus, including the era date ϹΜΕ (245 of the Pontic era, corresponding to 213–214 CE), frames the composition around the periphery. |

Amisus held the status of a free city — *eleuthera* — a privilege first granted under Pompey's reorganization of Pontus in 65 BC and fiercely maintained through successive imperial administrations. The date formula ΕΤ ϹΜΕ places this strike in the city's own civic era, year 245, corresponding to 213–214 AD, during Caracalla's sole reign following the murder of his brother Geta. That fratricidal act triggered a damnatio memoriae of extraordinary thoroughness, and the eastern mints kept unusually busy producing fresh coinage that implicitly legitimized the surviving Augustus.
