| Reverse description | An eagle stands facing right with wings spread wide, holding a wreath in its beak, a type emblematic of imperial power and divine favor widely employed on provincial bronzes of Bithynia. The bird is rendered with outstretched feathered wings filling the field, the body in profile. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is placed in the field around the eagle, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. The dotted border frames the design on the irregular flan. |
