| Beschrijving keerzijde | Demeter, draped, seated left upon a cista mystica, her figure rendered in the prevailing provincial style of Bithynian coinage. She holds what appears to be grain ears or a torch in her extended hand, with drapery falling in stylized folds across her lap and legs. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is inscribed around the field, identifying the civic authority of Nicaea. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea was one of the most prolific civic minting authorities in Bithynia during the third century, and its output under Trajan Decius reflects the broader pattern of provincial bronze continuing to function as everyday small change even as the central Roman coinage collapsed in silver content. Decius himself ruled fewer than three years before dying at the Battle of Abritus in 251 AD — the first Roman emperor killed in battle against a foreign enemy — which cuts the window for any issue bearing his name sharply short.
