| Reverse description | A modius (basket) filled with corn-ears prominently displayed in the center of the field, symbolizing the city's agricultural fertility and civic prosperity. The abbreviated civic legend ΝΙ-ΚΟ appears in the field flanking the modius, while the remaining inscription runs around the periphery of the coin. The reverse design is characteristic of Nicomedian civic bronze issues asserting the city's status as metropolis and first city of Bithynia. |
