| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, with short beard, the radiate crown rendered with pointed spikes. The emperor's effigy is depicted in the provincial style characteristic of Bithynian coinage of the Severan period. The circular legend surrounds the bust within a beaded border. |

At her feet to the left, a wheel — the traditional attribute of Nemesis symbolizing Fortune's turning. The reverse legend is inscribed in the field around the figure. |
