| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Lucius Verus facing right, wearing paludamentum over cuirass, with characteristic beard. The imperial effigy is rendered in the provincial style typical of Bithynian coinage, with the laureate wreath clearly delineated. The Greek legend encircles the bust in the field, reading ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙ Λ οΥΗΡο ϹΕ, identifying the emperor as Augustus Caesar Lucius Verus Sebastos. |
