| Reverse description | An eagle stands facing left at center, wings spread wide in an aggressive display, confronting an upright serpent rearing before it. The eagle is depicted with considerable naturalistic detail, its powerful body and outstretched wings filling the reverse field. The scene, a common apotropaic and civic symbol on Bithynian provincial coinage, is set on a ground line. A Greek legend in the exergue and surrounding field reads ΜΗΤ ΝΕΩΚο ΝΕΙΚοΜ(Η?), referencing Nicomedia's honored status as metropolis and neokoros. |
