| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Leto depicted in swift motion to the left, her head turned back in a looking-back pose, wearing a wind-inflated chiton and peplos that billow dramatically behind her. She carries her divine twins, Apollo and Artemis, one infant cradled on each arm, a scene evoking her mythological flight from Hera's wrath. The reverse legend ΤΡΙΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ curves around the field, identifying the issuing civic authority of Tripolis in Lydia. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tripolis in Lydia — not to be confused with the North African city — was a minor polis whose civic coinage under Maximinus Thrax reflects the awkward loyalty politics of his reign. Maximinus never visited the eastern provinces, ruling entirely from military camps along the Rhine and Danube frontier, yet cities like Tripolis still issued bronze in his name, likely to maintain standing within the conventus system administered from Sardis.
His three-year reign ended when the Senate declared him a public enemy following the revolt of the Gordians in Africa. Provincial civic bronzes bearing his name were almost certainly withdrawn or suppressed shortly after 238.
