| Obverse description | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Geta as Caesar facing right, with draped shoulders, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Bithynian coinage. The youthful effigy displays close-cropped hair surmounted by a laurel wreath. The Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan, identifying the subject as Lucius Septimius Geta Caesar. The coin exhibits a deep green patina consistent with prolonged burial, with moderate wear across the high relief of the portrait. |
