| Reverse description | Zeus Nikephoros standing facing with head turned to left, his body rendered in the classical divine tradition. In his extended right hand he holds a wreath, while his left hand grasps a tall scepter. To the left of the field, an eagle stands atop a thunderbolt, a symbol of Bithynian royal authority, accompanied below by a dynastic monogram and a Bithynian era date rendered in Greek numerals. The royal legend is inscribed in the field identifying the king by his epithets. |
