| Beschrijving keerzijde | A warship (galley) sailing to the right, depicted with a full sail, a helmsman at the stern, and two military standards (signa) rising prominently amidships. Below the vessel, a dolphin swims to the right, adding a maritime emblematic element to the composition. The reverse type alludes to Nicomedia's naval significance and its status as a twice-neocorate city. The legend encircles the scene, naming the issuing city and its honorific title. The overall style is typical of Bithynian provincial bronzes of the Severan-era transition. |

The neokoros titles encoded in this coin's reverse legend — acknowledging Nicomedia's double temple-wardenship — reflect the city's fierce rivalry with Nicaea over provincial primacy in Bithynia. That competition played out partly through the accumulation of imperial cult honors, and coins broadcasting neokorate status were explicitly civic propaganda in that struggle. Maximinus Thrax, the soldier-emperor who never visited the eastern provinces and was reportedly illiterate, would have been indifferent to the honor; the city issued it for its own purposes.
