| Beschrijving keerzijde | Heracles, nude and advancing to the left, stooping forward as he forcefully seizes the Ceryneian Hind by its antlers, subduing the animal which crouches beneath him in a groundline composition referencing the third Labour of Heracles. The musculature of the hero is rendered with vigour typical of provincial bronze coinage. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea's civic bronze issues under Caracalla reflect the city's aggressive pursuit of prestige honors during this period — the title of neokoros, granted for maintaining an imperial cult temple, was fiercely contested among Bithynian cities, and Nicaea held it twice. That competition drove substantial local coin production, as cities used their bronze issues partly to advertise their standing to Rome and to rival municipalities like Nicomedia.
