| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Geta as Caesar facing right, with youthful features and short curly hair, draped at the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage of the Severan period. The Greek legend is disposed around the bust within a beaded border. The portrait conveys the prince's adolescent physiognomy as typically depicted on issues struck during his father Septimius Severus's reign. |
