| Reverse description | Hexastyle temple depicted in elevation, its six columns framing a cult statue of the veiled goddess Demeter standing to the left, holding ears of corn in one hand and a long torch in the other. The architectural rendering is characteristic of the civic pride expressed in Nicomedian provincial coinage, with the temple pediment visible above the colonnade. The ethnic legend of the mint city appears in the field, with a possible reference to a local priestly office or festival (galle) beneath. The composition emphasizes Nicomedia's status as a neokoros city. |
