| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Quietus facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the front, with the radiate crown emphasizing his imperial status. The portrait displays the characteristic style of provincial bronze coinage of Bithynia, with visible paludamentum and cuirass detailing. The encircling Greek legend names the emperor in the nominative, distributed around the bust in the field. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, consistent with hand-struck provincial production of the period. |
