| Obverse description | Bare head of Lucius Verus facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Bithynian civic coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic curly beard and hair, with facial features in moderate relief. A partially legible Greek legend runs along the right periphery of the flan, reading ] ΑΥΡ ΟΥΗΡΟϹ ϹΕΒ, the opening letters lost due to a die or strike deficiency. The flan is irregular and shows characteristic surface patination consistent with ancient bronze alloy. |
