| Beschrijving keerzijde | Aphrodite Anadyomene depicted nude, standing facing with head turned to the right, her arms raised as she wrings water from her hair in the classic anasyromene gesture. At her feet to the lower left, a small figure of Eros stands with arms outstretched, looking up toward the goddess. The figures are rendered in fine relief on a plain field, with the reverse legend distributed around the periphery within a beaded border. A ground line is visible beneath the principal figure. The composition reflects Hellenistic artistic conventions favored in provincial Bithynian civic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Caesarea Germanica was a small Bithynian city granted the right to strike bronze coinage under the Severan dynasty, likely as a reward for civic loyalty during the civil wars of 193 AD — the Year of the Five Emperors. The city's mint output was modest and geographically narrow in distribution, which accounts for the relative difficulty in tracing die links across surviving specimens.
At 31.89g, this piece sits toward the heavy end of known examples for the type, suggesting it was struck early in the series before weight standards drifted downward.
