| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Lucius Verus facing right, draped in paludamentum and cuirass, with the portrait rendered in the provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage. The emperor's features are visible despite significant surface wear, with the bust truncated at the shoulder. A Greek imperial legend encircles the effigy along the periphery of the flan. |
