| Reverse description | Three legionary standards displayed upright side by side, a common reverse type on provincial bronzes of Nicaea affirming military loyalty and imperial authority. The standards are depicted with decorative finials and crossbars, rising from a base line visible at the lower field. The encircling Greek legend names the city of issue. The overall execution is typical of the local Nicaean mint workshop, with slightly irregular strike and worn relief. |
