Her extended right hand holds a patera, while her left arm rests upon a tympanum. Two lions, one on each side at her feet, flank the composition as her sacred animals, underscoring her role as Mater Magna. The city ethnic ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ appears in the field or along the periphery, asserting the civic identity of the issuing mint at Nicaea in Bithynia.
