| Obverse description | Bare head of Marcus Aurelius facing right, depicted with characteristic short beard and naturalistic portraiture typical of Antonine provincial coinage. The bust is truncated at the shoulder and rendered in moderate relief. A Greek imperial titulature legend encircles the effigy along the periphery, partially legible due to die wear and flan irregularity. The field is plain, with no additional symbols or countermarks visible. |

| Reverse description | Zeus enthroned to the left, his semi-draped figure seated on a high-backed throne, extending his right hand to offer a patera and holding a long upright sceptre in his left. The deity is rendered in the standard Hellenistic tradition common to Bithynian civic bronzes. A partial Greek legend appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. The reverse composition is centered within the flan, with the throne legs and lower drapery clearly articulated despite moderate wear. |
