| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Maximinus Thrax facing right, depicted from the rear in three-quarter perspective. The emperor's strong, broad-shouldered effigy is rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Bithynian coinage of the 3rd century AD. A circular Greek legend surrounds the bust in the field. |

| Reverse description | Youthful Pan standing to the left, wearing a Phrygian cap, holding a pine branch in one hand and trampling a wineskin beneath his feet; to one side stands a Priapus herm. The composition reflects the rustic, Dionysiac iconographic tradition common in the civic coinage of Nicaea in Bithynia. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is inscribed in the field. |
