| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Septimius Severus facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage. The portrait features the characteristic beard and laurel wreath of the emperor, with the legend surrounding the effigy in Greek characters. The flan is irregular and the relief is moderately worn, consistent with a small-module bronze issue struck under civic authority. |

| Reverse description | Tetrastyle temple depicted in elevation, set upon a stepped podium; four columns support a triangular pediment bearing a pellet at its apex, with a second pellet visible in the central intercolumniation. The architectural rendering is schematic but clear, a motif commonly associated with the civic cult imagery of Nicaea in Bithynia. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is disposed around the temple in the field. |
