| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Caracalla facing right, with youthful portrait features typical of the emperor's early reign. The legend is disposed around the periphery of the flan. The portrait is rendered in the standard provincial style of the Lower Moesian mint at Nicopolis ad Istrum, with visible drapery at the truncation of the neck. |

The figure is rendered in a static, frontal-adjacent pose typical of Moesian provincial bronze coinage of the Severan period. |
