| Reverse description | A distyle temple depicted in three-quarter perspective, its two columns framing a cult statue of Demeter standing left, veiled, holding ears of grain in her right hand and a long sceptre in her left. The pediment of the temple is decorated with a central bust flanked by two wreaths, emphasising the city's sacred and civic prestige. The reverse legend in the field and exergual area proclaims Nicomedia's status as metropolis and first neocorate city of the province. The composition reflects the standard civic temple-type reverse common to Bithynian provincial coinage under the Antonines. |
