| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of the emperor Severus Alexander facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage. The portrait displays the characteristic youthful features of Alexander, with a laurel wreath encircling the head. The circular Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan, reading ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟϹ ΑΥΓΟΥΤ (sic), a provincial rendering of Alexander Augustus. The flan is slightly irregular, as is common for hammered civic bronze issues of this period. |

Prusa ad Olympum sat at the foot of Mount Olympus in Bithynia, and its civic bronze issues under Severus Alexander reflect a city that punched above its weight in regional politics — it held the title of neokoros, meaning it maintained an imperial cult temple, which drove much of its coin production as ceremonial and festival currency rather than everyday exchange. The reference VI#3033 places this within a well-documented but not abundant type; Bithynian civic bronzes of this reign survive in modest numbers, many heavily corroded from soil conditions in northwestern Anatolia.
