| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Geta as Augustus, facing left and viewed from the rear, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage. The paludamentum is visible over the left shoulder, and the laureate wreath is clearly defined around the head. The Greek legend ΓΕΤΑϹ ΑΥΓΟΥ runs around the periphery of the field. A dotted border frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | An eagle stands facing right upon a ground line, its head turned to the left, holding a wreath in its beak — a type emblematic of Bithynian civic coinage and associated with imperial cult symbolism. The bird's wings are folded at its sides, and the plumage is rendered in moderate relief consistent with the hammered provincial style. The ethnic legend ΠΡΟΥϹΑΕΩΝ encircles the design, identifying the issuing city of Prusa ad Olympum. A dotted border frames the reverse field. |
