| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Domna facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed and bound with a diadem in the characteristic Severan style. The empress is depicted with her customary full-cheeked effigy, the drapery rendered in fine folds across the shoulder and chest. The circular legend surrounds the portrait in the field, inscribed in Greek characters. |

| Reverse description | Athena seated to the left upon a throne, wearing helmet and peplos, extending her right hand to hold a small Nike figurine and grasping a long spear with her left hand, the shaft angled behind her. The composition is typical of the civic bronzes of Nicaea, presenting the city's patron deity in a dignified, enthroned pose. The ethnic legend of the issuing city is disposed in the field around the central type. |
