Hemiassarion - Traianus ΓΕΡΜΗΝΩΝ

Germe was a minor city in Mysia, its civic coinage output modest enough that individual types survive in very small numbers across collections. This hemiassarion belongs to a series struck under Trajan's reign when provincial mints across Asia Minor were asserting local identity through bronze issues too small in denomination to attract imperial interference. RPC III 1766 records only a handful of specimens, making concordance across three major corpora — Copenhagen, France, and RPC — the most useful thing a cataloger can note here.
