| Reverse description | Standing figure, identified as Demeter, depicted facing with head turned to the left, veiled, and clad in long robes. She holds a lengthy torch in one hand and a patera in the other, attributes consistent with chthonic and agricultural cult iconography. The composition reflects the civic religious traditions of Nicaea, where Demeter was an important deity. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. The figure's pose and attributes are rendered in a style typical of Bithynian provincial bronzes of the Severan period. |
