| Beschrijving keerzijde | Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, depicted standing to the left in full figure, wearing a long chiton and polos headdress. She extends her right hand forward holding ears of grain, while her left hand clasps a long torch descending diagonally to the ground. The figure is rendered in the classical provincial style, with drapery folds visible despite surface wear. The ethnic legend of Nicaea appears in the field, partially preserved, encircling the reverse design. |

Nicaea's civic bronze issues under Gordian III belong to the last generation of Greek imperial coinage in Bithynia before the provincial mint system collapsed under the pressures of the third-century crisis. The city had long leveraged its status as a major administrative center — rival to Nicomedia for provincial primacy — and its coin output under Gordian reflects that civic ambition, with a notably broad range of reverse types struck across his six-year reign.
The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ, sometimes partially off-flan, is a known feature of this series due to die alignment inconsistencies at the Nicaean workshop.
