| Reverse description | An emperor on horseback gallops vigorously to the right, the horse rendered in full stride with forelegs raised. The rider, depicted in military attire, extends a spear forward in his right hand, conveying martial authority. The composition fills the central field dynamically, with the exergual line visible beneath the horse. The surrounding Greek legend, distributed around the coin's periphery, proclaims Nicomedia's twice-granted neocorate status, a mark of civic prestige. The provincial die-engraving is bold, though the surfaces show typical wear and patination consistent with a circulated bronze of the period. |
