| Beschrijving keerzijde | A veiled and draped female figure stands facing, her head turned to the left, holding a patera in her extended right hand. The figure is likely a personification of Tyche or a local deity venerated at Prusa ad Olympum, rendered in a static, hieratic provincial style. The ethnic legend ΠΡΟΥϹΑΕΩΝ encircles the reverse field, identifying the issuing city. The overall composition is typical of Bithynian civic bronze issues of the Severan period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Prusa ad Olympum was a mid-tier Bithynian city without the political weight of Nicomedia or Nicaea, yet it maintained a civic bronze coinage under Septimius Severus — likely as a function of local administrative pride rather than commercial necessity. The city owed its profile partly to its position near the slopes of Olympus and to thermal springs that attracted visitors of some means, though it never secured the neokorate status that drove larger civic minting programs in the region.
At 1.71g, this piece sits at the lighter end of the Æ18 spectrum for Bithynian civic issues, possibly reflecting flan preparation inconsistencies common to smaller municipal workshops.
