| Reverse description | The personified city-goddess Nicaea stands facing, head turned to the left, clad in a long chiton. She holds a cantharus (wine cup) in her extended right hand and a thyrsus (Dionysiac staff) in her left hand, attributes reflecting the city's cultural and religious associations. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority. The reverse type follows the standard Bithynian civic iconographic tradition for the city's eponymous deity. |
