| Reverse description | The reverse presents the Greek inscription ϹΕΟΥΗΡΕΙΑ ΦΙΛΑΔΕΛΦΕΙΑ ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ arranged in five lines across the field, commemorating the Severan Philadelphian games held at Nicaea. The entire inscription is enclosed within a laurel wreath tied at the base, a type standard for agonistic bronze coinage of Bithynian civic mints during the Severan period. The wreath is rendered with naturalistic leaf and berry detail visible around the border. |
