| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nike, the personification of Victory, advancing briskly to the right in full stride, her drapery flowing behind her in dynamic folds characteristic of provincial bronze coinage of the period. She extends her right hand forward holding a wreath, while her left hand carries a long palm branch over her shoulder. The reverse legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ occupies the field around the figure, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. The composition reflects the standard civic iconography celebrating imperial victories employed by Bithynian mints under the joint reign. |

Nicaea's civic bronze coinage under the joint rule of Valerian I and Gallienus reflects a moment when provincial mints were largely left to their own administrative devices — the emperors were perpetually occupied with military crises on multiple frontiers simultaneously. Valerian was captured by the Sasanian king Shapur I at the Battle of Edessa in 260, the only Roman emperor taken prisoner by a foreign enemy, which effectively ended this joint-reign period and terminated issues of this type.
