| Reverse description | Athena depicted standing left in a frontal pose, clad in chiton and aegis, extending her right hand to present a small figure of Nike, while her left arm supports an upright spear and a large round shield resting at her side. The goddess is rendered in the classical provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. |
