| Reverse description | Heracles standing facing right, depicted nude and in a contrapposto stance, resting his weight upon his club set on the ground. The hero holds or drapes the Nemean lion skin over his arm. The civic honorific legend of Nicaea encircles the type in the field, proclaiming the city's primacy in Pontus and Bithynia. The overall reverse composition is typical of civic bronze coinage from Nicaea, which frequently employed Heracles as a civic symbol. |
