| Reverse description | Zeus Nikephoros standing left, partially draped about the lower body, extending his right hand to hold an olive wreath above the royal name in the legend. In his left hand he holds a long upright scepter. To the left of the deity, an eagle stands left atop a thunderbolt, beneath which appears a monogram. The composition follows the standard Hellenistic divine-king imagery associating Bithynian royal authority with Zeus. The bi-linear legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΠΡΟΥΣΙΟΥ flanks the central figure in the field. |
