| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed bust of Geta Caesar, draped and cuirassed, facing right and viewed from the rear, with the legend encircling the portrait in Greek characters. The portrait style is characteristic of provincial bronze coinage struck at Nicaea under the Severan dynasty, rendered in low relief typical of the Bithynian mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nicaea was already one of the most politically consequential cities in Bithynia when Septimius Severus consolidated power after the chaos of 193 AD — the Year of the Five Emperors — and the city's mint produced civic bronzes throughout his reign in part to demonstrate loyalty to the new Severan order. At this weight, the flan is unusually light even for a provincial Æ15, suggesting either a local weight standard adjustment or a die pairing intended for small-denomination everyday exchange rather than ceremonial issue.
