| Reverse description | An agonistic crown of distinctly stepped form occupies the central field, decorated with rows of pellets and surmounted by a tall palm branch projecting upward from within. The crown, a standard symbol of athletic and sacred games prizes in Asia Minor civic coinage, is rendered with careful detail showing its tiered structure. The ethnic legend ΝΕΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ curves around the upper periphery of the reverse field, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. |
