| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nike, the personification of Victory, standing left in full figure, her large wings spread behind her. She extends her right hand forward holding a victor's wreath and carries a long palm branch over her left shoulder, emblems of triumph and glory. The figure is rendered in the dynamic provincial style characteristic of Bithynian civic bronzes. The Greek legend of the city of Nicomedia, proclaiming its twice-neocorate status, runs around the periphery within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicomedia held the title of "twice neokoros" — keeper of the imperial cult twice over — a designation fiercely competed among Bithynian cities and conferred by the Roman Senate as a mark of provincial prestige. The ΔΙϹ ΝΕΩΚΟ legend on this issue directly asserts that status, a civic boast as much as a religious one. Gordian III's reign, cut short at twenty-two by his own Praetorian prefect Philip the Arab on the Mesopotamian campaign, produced a substantial volume of provincial bronze across the eastern mints, Nicomedia among the most prolific.
