The emperor's youthful effigy is depicted with a finely detailed laurel wreath crowning the head, and drapery visible at the shoulder. A Greek legend encircles the bust within a beaded border. |

The architectural design is characteristic of civic temple representations on Bithynian provincial bronzes. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is divided across the field, with NI and KAI flanking the columns at left and right, and ΕΩΝ appearing in the exergue. A beaded border frames the entire reverse design. |
