| Reverse description | A Capricorn, the mythological sea-goat, depicted striding to the right in the field, with the forebody of a goat and a fish-tail replacing the hindquarters, its horn prominently rendered. This device served as an astrological symbol of imperial authority, associated with the divine mandate of Roman emperors. The Greek civic legend of Nicomedia as metropolis is distributed around the reverse field within a dotted border. |
