| Reverse description | Nemesis, the goddess of divine retribution and fate, stands facing with head turned to the left. Her right hand is raised to draw the fold of her chiton to her lips in the characteristic Nemesis gesture, while her left hand holds a bridle, symbolizing her power to restrain arrogance. At her feet lies a wheel, a further attribute emblematic of her control over fortune and fate. The reverse legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ in Greek characters identifies the issuing city of Nicaea in Bithynia. |
