| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Emperor Marcus Aurelius facing right, draped in paludamentum and cuirass, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage. The emperor's features are depicted with moderate relief, consistent with workshop production at Nicomedia. A Greek imperial legend surrounds the bust, with the alpha characters rendered in the distinctive lambda (Λ) form typical of this mint's epigraphy. The overall composition follows the standard military-imperial portrait formula of the Antonine period. |
