| Reverse description | A legionary aquila (eagle standard) stands centrally between two military standards, each topped with a wreath, all set upon a ground line. The composition is a hallmark of Nicomedia's neocorate civic pride, referencing the city's twice-granted status as temple warden. The encircling Greek legend names the Nicomedians and their double neocorate distinction, and a beaded border frames the entire design. |
