| Beschrijving keerzijde | Athena, the patron deity of Nicaea, stands in the field facing left in a dignified, frontal composition. The goddess is depicted in full figure, helmeted and dressed in a long chiton with aegis, extending a patera in her right hand and resting her left hand upon a large, grounded shield at her side. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is distributed in the field around the figure, affirming the civic identity of the issuing mint. The style and type are consistent with the standard Nicaean civic bronze coinage of the mid-third century AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea was one of the most prolific civic minting authorities in Bithynia, and issues under Trebonianus Gallus are relatively numerous compared to the near-absence of coinage from his co-emperor Volusianus at this mint. Gallus came to power immediately after Decius and his son Herennius Etruscus were killed fighting the Goths at the Battle of Abritus in June 251 — the first Roman emperor to die in battle against a foreign enemy.
The city's ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ appears consistently across civic bronze of this period, reflecting Nicaea's ongoing assertion of municipal identity under a rapidly cycling imperial administration.
