| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Geta as Caesar facing right, viewed from slightly behind, with curly hair rendered in fine detail. The obverse legend in Greek characters encircles the bust, identifying the subject as Publius Septimius Geta Caesar. The portrait exhibits the youthful features characteristic of Geta's early depictions on provincial coinage. The drapery and cuirass are visible at the truncation, rendered with typical provincial die-cutting workmanship. |

| Reverse description | The deity Mên depicted on horseback, riding vigorously to the right, wearing a Phrygian cap surmounted by a crescent. The horse is shown in dynamic motion with all four legs extended. The reverse legend ΙΟΥΛΙΟΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ runs around the design in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Iuliopolis. The composition reflects the local veneration of the lunar deity Mên, widely worshipped in Bithynia and Pontus. The groundline beneath the horse is indicated by a faint exergual line. |
