| Obverse description | Bare head of Emperor Claudius facing left, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Bithynian coinage. The effigy displays the emperor's characteristic features with short, tousled hair. A Greek legend surrounds the portrait, running clockwise along the outer border of the flan. |

| Reverse description | A laurel or olive wreath, tied at the base, frames a multi-line Greek inscription arranged across four lines within the wreath. The legend names the proconsul Lucius Mindius Balbus and identifies the city of Nicaea as the issuing authority. A dotted border encircles the entire reverse design, and the wreath is rendered with carefully detailed individual leaves. |
