| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Emperor depicted in full military attire, standing left, extending a patera in his right hand in a gesture of libation. Behind him, Nike advances left, crowning him with a wreath held in her right hand while carrying a palm branch in her left, symbolising divine favour and imperial victory. The reverse legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea in Bithynia. The composition reflects standard honorific reverse types common to Bithynian provincial coinage of the Severan period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea sat at the intersection of major Anatolian road networks, and its civic coinage under Severus Alexander reflects the city's confidence during a period of relative imperial stability — a contrast to the chaos that had consumed the Severan dynasty in the decades prior. The city had hosted the famous council of 325 AD, though that lay a century ahead; in Alexander's reign it was simply a prosperous hub minting bronzes for local exchange.
Provincial issues from Bithynia under Alexander are frequently underrepresented in major collections, making precise die study difficult.
