| Reverse description | Frontal view of a hexastyle temple with six columns raised on a stepped podium, depicted in perspective with the columns rendered in detail. The triangular pediment is surmounted by an acroterion consisting of a wreath or floral ornament, and a globe or orb is shown within the pediment. The reverse legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ, meaning 'of the Nicaeans', is split across the field to either side of the temple columns, with the final letters appearing in the exergue area, referencing the civic pride of Nicaea in Bithynia. |
