| Obverse description | Laureate head of the Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, with finely rendered laurel wreath and beard, the neck bare or lightly draped. A partially legible Greek legend surrounds the effigy in the field, reading ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙϹΑΡ ΑΝΤΩΝΙΝΟϹ (Emperor Caesar Antoninus), though worn and partially off-flan. The portrait is rendered in the provincial style typical of Bithynian civic bronzes of the mid-second century AD. |

| Reverse description | Draped and diademed bust of the youthful hero Prusias, the eponymous founder of Prusias ad Hypium, facing right. The bust is depicted with idealized, youthful features and a diadem binding the hair, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition common to civic coinage of Bithynia. A Greek ethnic legend surrounds the bust, though partially legible due to wear, identifying the issuing city. The reverse field is otherwise plain, with no additional symbols or exergual markings visible. |
