| Obverse description | Draped bust of Fulvia Plautilla, Augusta and wife of Caracalla, facing right, with hair elaborately dressed and gathered at the nape. The portrait is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage. The encircling Greek legend identifies the empress by her full imperial titulature. A dotted border frames the design. |
