| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Philip I (Philip the Arab) facing right, portrayed in three-quarter rear view, as was characteristic of his imperial portraiture. The radiate crown, comprising pointed rays, identifies the emperor's solar associations and military authority. The paludamentum (military cloak) is visible over the cuirass. The Greek legend encircles the bust along the periphery of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea's civic bronze issues under Philip I reflect the city's continued investment in local prestige coinage during a reign defined more by military crisis than administrative stability — Philip was managing Gothic pressure on the Danubian frontier and the fallout from Gordian III's death almost simultaneously. Civic mints in Bithynia operated with considerable autonomy during this period, producing bronze for local exchange while the imperial mints focused on silver.
The ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ ethnic places this squarely within Nicaea's own civic identity, distinct from the Roman colonial apparatus.
