| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of Geta as Caesar facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the front. The portrait displays the youthful features characteristic of Geta's early coinage under his father Septimius Severus. The Greek legend encircles the bust within the field. The flan shows typical provincial irregularity and the surfaces bear patination consistent with heavy circulation. |

He holds a caduceus in his right hand, the attribute emblematic of his role as divine messenger. The figure is rendered in the typical provincial Greek style of Bithynian civic coinage. The ethnic legend of the issuing city appears in the field around the deity. |
