| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, stands erect in a biga (two-horse chariot) racing to the left, her figure rendered in dynamic pose with billowing drapery. She holds a long palm branch in her extended hand, a standard attribute symbolising triumph and victory. The two horses are depicted in full stride to the left, their bodies rendered with vigorous provincial workmanship. The encircling legend ΑΜΙϹΟΥ ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΑϹ ΕΤ ϹΛ in Greek identifies the free city of Amisus and provides the civic era date year 230, corresponding to 197–198 AD. The reverse field displays the characteristic green-brown patina of Pontic bronze coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amisus held the status of a free city — eleuthera — under Roman administration, a privilege that allowed it to strike its own civic bronze without direct imperial mint supervision. The city year ϹΛ (year 230) in the local Pontic era anchors this piece to 197–198 AD, precisely when Septimius Severus was consolidating power after defeating Clodius Albinus at the Battle of Lugdunum. Provincial bronzes of this size from Amisus are struck on notoriously thick, uneven flans, a consequence of the city's independent casting methods rather than imperial die work.
