| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, depicted standing to the left in full figure, wearing a kalathos (modius) upon her head. She holds a rudder in her right hand, symbolising guidance and destiny, and a cornucopia in her left arm, representing abundance. The Greek ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ encircles the field, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. The reverse is enclosed within a faint circular border, and the style is consistent with provincial civic bronze coinage of Bithynia under the Antonine emperors. |
