| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Claudius II Gothicus facing right, rendered in three-quarter rear view, with paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and scale armor on the cuirass. The imperial effigy is portrayed in the characteristic provincial style of the Cyzicus mint, with bold, somewhat schematic modeling typical of late third-century Asia Minor coinage. A beaded border encircles the field. The Greek imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyzicus held the rare distinction of being a double neokoros city — twice granted the honor of maintaining an imperial cult temple — a status jealously accumulated over generations of loyalty to Rome and reflected directly in the ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ Β legend. The Strategos Septimios Pontikos named in this issue was a local magistrate whose office gave him the authority to sponsor civic bronze coinage, a right the city exercised with particular energy during the chaotic reign of Claudius II, when central mint output was strained by the Gothic wars consuming the Balkans.
