| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of Diadumenian facing right, portrayed from behind, the drapery visible over the near shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage of the Severan era. A Greek imperial legend surrounds the effigy, partially legible due to heavy wear. |

| Reverse description | Hygieia, goddess of health, standing right in chiton and himation, extending a patera in her right hand to feed a large serpent coiling upward before her. The composition is a standard type for Bithynian civic issues of this period, emphasizing the city's veneration of healing deities. The Greek legend of the issuing city runs around the periphery of the field. |
