| Obverse description | Draped bust of Plautilla facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed and bound with a diadem, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage. The effigy is set within a dotted border, with the Greek legend encircling the bust in the field. The portrait, though worn, preserves the characteristic features associated with the empress consort of Caracalla. |

The figure is rendered in the conventional provincial iconographic tradition, set against a plain field within a dotted border. The Greek civic legend encircles the type, proclaiming the concord of the Nicaean people. |
