| Reverse description | The eponymous hero Astakos of Nicomedia stands to the right, his left foot raised and resting upon the prow of a ship, alluding to the city's maritime heritage. His head is turned to the left, and his right arm is extended forward, while his left hand holds a transverse sceptre. The composition conveys civic pride in the city's legendary founder and seafaring identity. The reverse legend ΜΗ ΝΕΩ ΝΙΚΟ, an abbreviation of Μητροπόλεως Νεωκόρου Νικομηδείας, is distributed in the field around the figure. |
