| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of the emperor Septimius Severus facing right, depicted with characteristic curled hair and beard in the naturalistic Severan portrait style. The bust is truncated at the neck. The Greek imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery of the flan, partially visible due to the irregular striking. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea had been a loyalist city since the early imperial period, and its civic coinage under Septimius Severus reflects a municipality eager to demonstrate alignment with the new Severan dynasty following the chaos of 193 AD — the Year of the Four Emperors. Provincial bronzes from Bithynia of this period were struck on civic authority, not imperial mandate, making them products of local financial administration rather than central Roman monetary policy.
The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is the genitive plural, identifying the coin as belonging to the people of Nicaea — a civic pride formula consistent across Bithynian issues of the second and third centuries.
