| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage. The emperor's portrait displays a bearded effigy with the laurel wreath clearly defined, set against a plain field. The circular Greek legend runs along the outer border of the flan. The die work is typical of mid-second century Nicomedian provincial issues, with moderate relief. |
