| Beschrijving keerzijde | A figure, likely the emperor, stands facing left in a commanding martial pose, holding a patera in the outstretched right hand and a long spear or sceptre in the left. At his feet, a seated captive is depicted in a posture of submission before a trophy of arms, symbolising Roman military triumph over barbarian enemies. The composition reflects the standard Roman provincial victory iconography, with the civic legend of Prusias ad Hypium distributed around the field. The reverse demonstrates the characteristically bold, if somewhat roughly executed, style of Bithynian provincial bronzes of the mid-third century AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Prusias ad Hypium — modern Konuralp in northwestern Turkey — was a Bithynian city that leveraged the reign of Gordian III aggressively for civic bronze emissions, producing an unusually diverse run of large-module types during his six-year rule. The city had been refounded under its Greek name following earlier Hellenistic settlement, and its civic coinage under the Severans and their successors reflects sustained municipal ambition rather than routine output.
At 36mm, this sits among the heaviest denominational strikes the city produced under Gordian, likely intended for local prestige transactions rather than everyday exchange.
