| Reverse description | A war galley (trireme or bireme) depicted sailing to the left, with a row of oarsmen visible along the hull and a raised prow. The vessel is shown in profile, its oars extended, conveying the naval significance of Nicomedia as a prominent port city on the Propontis. The encircling Greek legend proclaims the city's twice-awarded neocorate status, a coveted honorific reflecting its role as a centre of the imperial cult. |
