| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the typical provincial style of Bithynian civic coinage. The effigy displays the characteristic mature portrait of the emperor with a laurel wreath crowning the head. The circumferential Greek legend surrounds the portrait within a beaded border, though heavily worn. The die-work reflects the provincial workshops of Nicomedia during the mid-2nd century AD. |
