| Reversbeschreibung | Athena, helmeted and draped, stands facing left in a composed, dignified pose, extending a patera in her right hand and holding an upright spear in her left. A round shield rests at her feet to the left, serving as a further martial attribute. The figure is rendered in the characteristic provincial style of Bithynian civic coinage, with a Greek legend distributed around the field referencing the twice-neocorate status of Nicomedia and the letter Γ (gamma) as a control mark or series indicator. |

Nicomedia held the neokorate title twice — the "ΔΙϹ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ" designation on this issue reflects that status, earned through the city's hosting of imperial cult temples and its fierce rivalry with Nicaea over provincial precedence. That competition between the two cities was bitter enough that both spent considerable civic resources lobbying emperors for honors, a dynamic Dio Chrysostom wrote about with evident exasperation in the late first century. Trajan Decius, who issued this piece during his brief and catastrophic reign, was killed at the Battle of Abritus in 251 — the first Roman emperor to die in battle against a foreign enemy.
