| Reverse description | Asclepius, the god of medicine, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left, his weight resting upon a serpent-entwined staff (caduceus of Asclepius) held in his right hand. The deity is rendered in the classical Hellenistic tradition characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is inscribed in the field. |
