| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Geta as Caesar facing right, viewed from the front, with youthful features rendered in the provincial style. The legend encircles the bust within the field, identifying the prince by his full title. The portrait reflects the characteristic Severan provincial workshop treatment, with visible drapery folds over the left shoulder and cuirass detailing on the right. |

| Reverse description | Tyche standing facing, head turned to the left, depicted in full figure within the coin field. She holds a ship's rudder in her right hand, resting it on the ground, and a cornucopia in her left arm, symbolizing fortune and prosperity for the city of Nicomedia. The reverse legend, distributed around the field, proclaims the city's honored status as twice neocorate. The figure is rendered in the characteristic flat, linear style of Bithynian provincial bronze coinage. |
