| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Domitian facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Bithynian coinage of the Flavian period. The effigy displays the characteristic laurel wreath with visible leaf detail, and the facial features, though worn, retain the portrait conventions of the reigning emperor. The field is largely plain, with legends, if present, now illegible due to wear and heavy patination. Applied to the obverse is the rectangular countermark 'ΠΡY', punched in Greek characters, identifying the re-validation of the coin by the civic authority of Prusias ad Hypium. |
