| Beschrijving keerzijde | The sacred Apis bull striding to the right, depicted in full body profile with the distinctive uraeus (cobra) headdress atop its head, reflecting the syncretic Egyptian religious influence common in Bithynian provincial coinage. The animal is rendered in a sturdy, naturalistic style typical of the period. The ethnic legend of the issuing city encircles the type in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea's civic bronze issues under Marcus Aurelius were produced during a period when the city was aggressively promoting its claim to primacy over Nicomedia — a rivalry that generated an unusually prolific output of local coinage, each issue another small assertion of civic identity. The dispute eventually required imperial adjudication under later emperors.
