| Reverse description | A war galley with six oarsmen proceeding to the left, the oars depicted in motion below the hull. Two military standards are visible erected at the stern of the vessel. In the background, two tetrastyle or octastyle temples, each with eight columns, are depicted, symbolising Nicomedia's prestigious status as a twice-neokoros city — an official guardian of the imperial cult. The reverse legend ΝΙΚοΜΗΔΕΩΝ ΔΙϹ ΝΕΩΚοΡΩΝ encircles the composition, proudly proclaiming the city's dual neokorate honour. The galley type alludes to Nicomedia's maritime importance on the Propontis. |
