| Obverse description | Laureate head of Caracalla facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage of the Severan period. The emperor's portrait displays the characteristic thick curly hair and short beard of the young Caracalla, with a radiate laurel wreath encircling the head. The surrounding field is worn and patinated with an olive-brown surface, with a partial figure or countermark visible to the lower left. The obverse legend runs clockwise around the periphery in Greek script. |
