| Reverse description | Demeter standing facing with head turned to the left, rendered in long chiton and himation in the classical tradition. In her right hand she holds a tall, flaming torch, while her left hand extends a cluster of grain ears, emblematic of her domain over the harvest and fertility. The encircling Greek legend, distributed around the field, proclaims Nicomedia's status as a twice-neocorate city, a mark of great civic pride and imperial favour. |
