| Beschrijving keerzijde | Dionysus, god of wine and festivity, stands facing left in a full-length robed figure, his weight resting on one leg in a contrapposto pose. In his right hand he holds a long thyrsus — the fennel-staff wreathed with ivy and pine cone emblematic of the deity — while his left arm cradles a cornucopia overflowing with fruits and vegetation, symbolizing abundance. The composition reflects the strong Dionysiac cult tradition at Amisus, a city known for its veneration of the god. The encircling Greek legend ΑΜΙϹΟΥ ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΑϹ ΕΤ ϹΞΘ identifies the free city of Amisus and gives the civic era date of year 269, corresponding to 238 AD. A beaded border frames the entire reverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pupienus and Balbinus were co-emperors for just 99 days in 238 AD — the Year of the Six Emperors — before being tortured and murdered by the Praetorian Guard in July of that same year. Provincial mints like Amisus, operating under their own civic calendars, often struck joint-reign issues before news of an emperor's fate even reached them. The ЄТ ϹΞΘ in the legend denotes year 269 of the Pontic era, anchoring this coin precisely within that chaotic window.
