| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Maximinus I (Thrax) facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, displaying the characteristic broad shoulders and military cuirass. The legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, partially retrograde, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The portrait style reflects the provincial workshop tradition of Bithynia, with bold relief and a somewhat rough execution typical of civic bronze coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Athena standing facing, head turned to the left, holding a patera in her extended right hand and a long spear in her left; a round shield rests at her feet. The goddess is depicted in her characteristic martial aspect, likely wearing a helmet and aegis, consistent with civic reverses of Prusa ad Olympum. The ethnic legend ΠΡΟΥϹΑΕΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing city of the Prusaeans in Bithynia. |
