| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tetrastyle or hexastyle temple façade depicted in frontal view, with six columns supporting an entablature and a triangular pediment containing a central pellet ornament. The structure rests on a visible stepped base, and the entire design is framed by a dotted border. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is inscribed in the exergue below, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. The architectural rendering is characteristic of the civic temple types frequently employed on Bithynian provincial bronze coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea was among the most prolific civic minting authorities in Bithynia under the Severan dynasty, and its bronze issues for Septimius Severus span virtually his entire reign — a period when the city was actively competing with neighboring Nicomedia for provincial prestige and imperial favor. That rivalry drove both cities to mint heavily, which partly explains the volume of surviving Nicaean bronzes from this period.
At 16mm, this falls toward the smaller end of Nicaea's civic output under Severus, suggesting local, small-transaction use rather than regional trade.
