| Beschrijving keerzijde | Demeter standing facing with head turned to the left, depicted in full-length figure in the field. The goddess holds a sheaf of ears of corn in her right hand and a long torch in her left hand, attributes emblematic of her role as deity of the harvest and fertility. The reverse legend in Greek encircles the design, proclaiming Nicomedia's status as a twice-neocorate city, a mark of imperial honor. The provincial style is consistent with Bithynian civic coinage of the Severan period. |

Nicomedia's title ΔΙΣΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ — "twice temple warden" — reflects the city's fierce competition with Nicaea for provincial primacy in Bithynia. The second neokorate was granted under Septimius Severus himself, making coins advertising that honor datable to his reign with unusual precision relative to most provincial bronzes.
