| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of Diadumenianus facing right, depicted from the rear in three-quarter view, with curly hair rendered in fine detail. The effigy displays paludamentum or drapery over the left shoulder. The encircling Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan, framed by a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A serpent rears erect toward the left in the central field, its body coiled at the base, rendered as a symbol of the healing deity Asclepius venerated at Nicomedia. The Greek civic legend encircles the design, proclaiming the city's twice-awarded neocorate honour, and is set within a beaded border on an irregularly shaped bronze flan with characteristic green-brown patina. |
