| Obverse description | Bare head of Geta as Caesar facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage. The youthful portrait is set within a circular field, with the Greek legend disposed around the periphery. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hammered bronze production of the Severan period. |

| Reverse description | A garlanded and lighted altar rendered in frontal view, decorated with hanging festoons of leaves and berries. A flame rises from the top of the altar, indicating an active sacrificial context. The civic legend of Nicaea is distributed around the field in Greek characters, reflecting the city's autonomous bronze coinage tradition under Severan imperial authority. |
