| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, seen from the rear, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The imperial effigy is rendered in the typical provincial style of Bithynian civic coinage. A Greek legend encircles the bust, reading the emperor's titulature in abbreviated form. The flan is irregular and the surface shows the characteristic patina of a hammered provincial bronze. |
