| Reversbeschreibung | Tyche, the personification of the city's fortune, is depicted seated to the left on a throne, holding a small tetrastyle temple model in each hand, referencing Nicomedia's triple neocorate status as a thrice-honoured imperial cult city. Above the central figure, a third temple facade is rendered in the upper field, further emphasising the city's distinguished religious rank. The encircling Greek legend, set within a dotted border, proclaims the civic pride of the Nicomedians. The overall composition reflects the characteristic style of Bithynian provincial bronze coinage under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Nicomedia held the title of neokoros — official keeper of an imperial cult temple — three times over, a distinction fiercely competed among Bithynian cities and reflected in the ΤΡΙΣ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ legend. The joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, father and son co-emperors from 253, produced a flood of provincial bronze across Asia Minor as the central mint system strained under near-constant military crisis. Valerian's capture by Shapur I at the Battle of Edessa in 260 ended the joint issue abruptly, making the precise terminal date of this type impossible to pin down without die study.
