| Obverse lettering | ΑΝΤΩΝΙΝΟϹ ΑΥΓΟΥϹΤΟϹ (Translation: Antoninus Augustus) |
| Reverse description | The emperor, depicted in full military attire including cuirass and paludamentum, is shown on horseback galloping vigorously to the right, his right arm extended with a couched spear poised for attack. The horse is rendered in dynamic motion, with legs outstretched, consistent with the martial iconography favored on Severan provincial bronzes celebrating imperial military virtus. The composition fills the flan, with the ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ distributed in the field, attributing the issue to the city of Nicaea in Bithynia. A dotted border frames the design. |
