Pentassarion - Gordianus III ΔIONVCOΠOΛITΩN, Demeter, Dionysopolis

Dionysopolis, a small Black Sea coastal city in Lower Moesia (modern Balchik, Bulgaria), issued bronze coinage under Gordian III as part of the broader phenomenon of provincial civic bronze — locally authorized issues that filled the gap left by Rome's increasingly debased silver. The city's output under Gordian is modest in number of recorded types, making individual pieces from this reign genuinely scarce rather than artificially so.

Varbanov 589 is among the rarer entries in the Dionysopolis sequence for this reign.
