| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Maximinus I (Thrax) facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, with the musculature of the cuirass clearly articulated. The emperor's laurel wreath and military attire convey imperial authority. A Greek legend encircles the effigy along the periphery of the flan, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The portrait style is characteristic of provincial bronze coinage struck under Roman imperial oversight in Bithynia during the reign of Maximinus I. |
