| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Herennius Etruscus as Caesar, facing right and seen from the rear, rendered in the provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage. The radiate crown projects prominently, and the drapery over the far shoulder is visible behind the cuirass. A Greek legend encircles the bust along the periphery, identifying the subject by his full titulature. The flan is irregular, with light beaded border partially visible. |
