| Reverse description | An eagle stands facing with wings spread wide, its head turned to the right, engaged in combat with an erect serpent rising before it — a motif associated with the neokorate cult and civic pride of Nicomedia. In the exergue below, a galley is depicted sailing to the left, referencing Nicomedia's status as a major naval and commercial port on the Propontis. The reverse legend encircling the design proclaims the city's title as neokoros, i.e. temple-warden of the imperial cult. |
