| Beschrijving keerzijde | The emperor Trebonianus Gallus is depicted as an equestrian figure mounted on a prancing horse, advancing to the right, his raised right arm thrusting a spear or lance forward in a martial gesture. The horse is rendered with vigorous movement, its forelegs raised, conveying imperial power and military virtue. The composition fills the flan, with the encircling Greek legend referencing Nicomedia's twice-awarded neocorate status distributed around the periphery. The die work is typical of Bithynian civic bronze issues of the mid-third century, showing competent but somewhat provincial engraving. |

The inscription ΝΙΚΟΜΗΔΗΩΝ ΔΙϹ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ — "of the Nicomedians, twice neokoros" — records the city's status as twice-granted keeper of an imperial cult temple, an honor Nicomedia had fought to defend against its rival Nicaea for generations. The sic notation flags a spelling irregularity in the ethnic, likely a die-cutter's error rather than a regional variant. Trebonianus Gallus reigned barely two years before being killed by his own troops, making the window for provincial bronze of his reign narrow.
