| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche, the personification of the city's fortune, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left. In her right hand she holds a ship's rudder, symbolizing the guidance of destiny, while her left hand bears a cornucopia, emblematic of abundance and civic prosperity. The design is a standard civic type employed widely by Bithynian mints under the Severan dynasty. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ encircles the field, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea was one of the most prolific civic minting authorities in Bithynia under the Severan dynasty, producing a wide range of bronze denominations for local circulation while Rome itself focused on silver and gold. The city's coins circulated within a regional economy that had little use for imperial precious metal issues in everyday transactions.
The broad date range reflects the full span of Septimius Severus's reign — he came to power after defeating his rivals in the Year of the Five Emperors, a civil war that ended at the Battle of Lugdunum in 197 AD.
