| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing left, rendered in the clean, idealised portrait style characteristic of early Augustan provincial coinage. The effigy displays the emperor's distinctive short, layered hair falling over the forehead. The legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ appears in Greek characters in the field to the right of the portrait, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. The flan is irregular, and the die strike shows some weakness at the periphery, consistent with hammered civic bronze coinage of the period. |
