| Reverse description | A legionary eagle (aquila) with wings spread stands centrally upon a base, flanked on either side by a military standard (signum) decorated with medallions and surmounted by a hand or wreath finial. The composition is a well-known type celebrating the Roman legionary presence in the region, rendered in bold relief characteristic of Bithynian provincial bronze coinage. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ appears in the lower field or exergue, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. |
