| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of Moesia personified in the center field, depicted facing front between a bull on the left and a lion on the right, both animals facing inward toward the central figure. Moesia extends both arms downward toward the animals in a gesture of protection or dominion, a type emblematic of the colonial mint of Viminacium. The colonial mint legend PMS COL VIM appears in the exergue and field, with the year of the colony (AN) noted on individual issues. The composition reflects the standard reverse type employed throughout Gordian III's reign at this mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Viminacium, the legionary fortress-city on the Danube in Moesia Superior, was granted colonial status under Gordian III and immediately began issuing its own dated bronze coinage — an unusual privilege reflecting the city's strategic importance as a frontier command center against Gothic and Carpi incursions. The local era begins in 239 AD, making these pieces precisely datable within the series by their AN (year) numerals, a rarity among provincial bronzes of this period.
The AMNG references span multiple die varieties catalogued by Pick, with meaningful obverse and reverse die distinctions across the numbered sequence.
