| Reverse description | Athena, the patron deity of Nicaea, depicted seated to the left upon a large round shield, rendered in the local provincial artistic tradition. The goddess extends her right hand forward holding a small Nike figurine, while her left hand rests on a long spear. The composition conveys divine authority and civic pride befitting the mint city's name. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is distributed around the field, partially within a beaded border visible along the right margin. |
