| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Domitian facing right, rendered in high relief with characteristic Flavian portraiture. The emperor's features are clearly delineated, with the laurel wreath encircling the head as a symbol of imperial authority. A Greek legend runs around the circumference of the flan, partially visible on the worn surfaces. The portrait is set within a broad, slightly irregular flan typical of provincial bronze coinage struck at Nicaea in Bithynia. |

| Reverse description | The god Ares depicted striding to the right in a martial pose, his nude or semi-nude figure rendered in the Hellenistic tradition. He carries a trophy over his left shoulder and holds a spear in his right hand, emblematic of military victory. The abbreviated civic legend ΝΙΚΑ ΠΡ appears in the field, flanking the figure. The composition reflects the civic pride of Nicaea, asserting its primacy among the cities of Bithynia through the association with the god of war and conquest. |
