| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Publius Septimius Geta as Caesar, facing right and seen from the rear, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The portrait displays the youthful features characteristic of Geta's early coinage. The encircling legend names the prince in Greek characters. The style is typical of provincial bronze coinage struck at Heraclea Pontica during the Severan dynasty. |
