| Beschrijving keerzijde | Demeter, goddess of grain and harvest, enthroned and seated to the left upon a high-backed throne, rendered in the classical style. In her extended right hand she holds a bundle of ears of grain (wheat), while her left hand rests upon a long transverse sceptre. The peripheral legend, distributed around the upper and lower field, names the local magistrate responsible for the coinage issue. The composition reflects the agricultural importance of the Adramyteum region and the city's veneration of Demeter as a civic deity. |

Adramyteum, a coastal city on the Aegean shore of Mysia, struck aggressively under Gordian III — the young emperor elevated at fourteen following the murder of Balbinus and Pupienus. The magistrate name preserved in the legend, Claudius Phelix, anchors this piece to a specific administrative moment in the city's civic minting program, one of the more prolific in the region during the 240s.
The reference VII.1#56 places this within Leschhorn's *Lexikon der Aufschriften*, a relatively sparse corpus for Adramyteum, making confirmed die matches across collections genuinely useful for establishing sequence.
