| Reverse description | Hermes seated left upon a throne or chair, rendered in classical style, holding a purse (?) in his raised right hand and a kerykeion (caduceus/serpent staff) in his left hand. A ground line is visible beneath the figure, and the numeral Γ (3) appears in the field, denoting the third neocorate grant. The encircling Greek legend proclaims Nicomedia's double neocorate status, reflecting the city's prestigious cult responsibilities within the province of Bithynia. |
