| Aversbeschreibung | Diademed head of Nikomedes II Epiphanes in right profile, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with carefully articulated curling hair bound by a royal diadem, the ends of which fall behind the neck. The portrait is youthful and idealized, with smooth facial features characteristic of the Bithynian royal coinage. The effigy occupies the full extent of the broad, slightly convex flan, with no encircling legend on this side. |

Nikomedes II inherited Bithynia around 149 BC after effectively ousting his father Prusias II — a king so unpopular that his own son led a revolt against him with Pergamene backing, and Prusias was ultimately murdered in a temple where he had sought refuge. The epithet Epiphanes, "the god made manifest," was adopted by Nikomedes in direct imitation of Seleukid royal propaganda, signaling his ambitions to be seen as something more than a minor Anatolian dynast.
Bithynia at this point was navigating carefully between Pergamon and Rome, and these large silver tetradrachms served that diplomatic posture — a king who could strike coins of this module was a king who mattered.
