| Beschrijving keerzijde | Seated figure of Hipparchus of Nicaea, the celebrated ancient astronomer, depicted bearded and facing left. He is shown in a contemplative pose, resting his right arm on his knee while his left hand rests upon the seat. A globe mounted on a column appears to the left of the figure, symbolizing his contributions to astronomy and geography. The composition is typical of Bithynian civic reverse types that honored famous local intellectual figures. The reverse legend names Hipparchus as a celebrated native of Nicaea. |

Nicaea's civic bronze coinage under Commodus reflects the city's vigorous exploitation of imperial portrait rights — local magistrates frequently leveraged the emperor's image to assert municipal prestige within Bithynia's competitive civic culture. The magistrate title ΙΠΠΑΡΧΟϹ, a cavalry commander or hipparch, appears on a narrow range of Nicaean issues and anchors this piece to a specific administrative moment in the city's coinage rather than a continuous series.
