| Beschrijving keerzijde | Veiled figure of Demeter standing left in full length, clad in long chiton and himation, her head veiled in the manner befitting the goddess of grain. She holds two ears of corn in her right hand and a long torch in her left. The reverse legend naming Nicomedia as metropolis is disposed around the field, partially legible due to wear, in the characteristic style of Bithynian civic bronze coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicomedia held the title of metropolis of Bithynia — a distinction it contested bitterly with Nicaea for much of the imperial period, each city lobbying Rome for precedence and the civic honors that came with it. The truncated legend on this piece almost certainly reflects that hard-won status, struck under a reign when such provincial honorifics were actively cultivated through imperial favor.
