| Beschrijving keerzijde | Heracles, the city's divine patron, is depicted seated right upon a rock, his muscular figure shown in a relaxed pose. Before him stands a male figure to the right, extending his right arm upward in a gesture of address or supplication. The composition reflects a common provincial iconographic scheme linking the city of Germe with its Heraclean heritage. The reverse legend, arranged in the field and exergue, records the name of the local strategos responsible for the coin issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Germe was a minor Mysian city whose civic coinage under Septimius Severus names the strategos Aineikios — a local magistrate responsible for authorizing the issue. Provincial bronze of this size from small Pergamene conventus cities was struck entirely for local circulation; Rome had no hand in production, and quality control varied sharply between magistracies. The ethnic genitive ΓΕΡΜΗΝΩΝ confirms the civic, not imperial, authority behind the type.
V.2 #660 places this among the rarer Germe issues, the city's output under the Severans being modest compared to its larger Mysian neighbors.
