| Reverse description | Wreathed head of Heracles facing left, wearing the characteristic lion-skin headdress knotted at the neck, rendered in bold provincial relief. The heroic effigy of the city's legendary founder occupies the central field, with the wreath framing the head. A circular Greek honorific legend surrounds the type, proclaiming the pride of the Nicaean civic community in their preeminence within the province of Bithynia. |
