| Reverse description | Tetrastyle temple depicted in elevation, with a triangular pediment above four columns resting on a stepped podium; within the intercolumniation stands a frontal figure holding a cornucopia in the left arm, likely a personification of Tyche or a local deity associated with civic abundance. The architectural rendering is schematic but clearly articulates the entablature, frieze, and steps below. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is distributed in the field flanking the temple, asserting the civic identity of the issuing city of Nicaea. |
