| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gallienus facing right, portrayed in three-quarter rear view, the radiate crown rendered with pronounced spikes. The emperor's effigy displays a paludamentum fastened at the shoulder and segmented cuirass with visible pteryges at the base. A Greek legend encircles the bust in the field, naming the emperor by his full titulature. The die work reflects the provincial Greek civic coinage style characteristic of Bithynian mints under the joint reign of Valerian I and Gallienus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicomedia held the title of neokoros — guardian of an imperial cult temple — twice over, which is precisely what ΔΙϹ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ announces. The city lobbied aggressively for these honors under successive emperors, and the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, co-emperors from 253, gave civic mints across Bithynia a burst of activity as both rulers required honorific issues. Nicomedia was among the most politically engaged cities in the province, having served as Diocletian's eastern capital a generation later — a status it was already positioning itself for during this period.
