Reverse description Two water nymphs depicted reclining and facing one another, each leaning upon an overturned vase from which water flows freely, symbolizing the thermal springs of Prusa ad Olympum. In the background, the façade of a thermal bath building is shown in frontal view, featuring four columns. The composition reflects the civic pride of Prusa in its renowned hot springs, a common theme in the city's provincial coinage. The reverse legend naming the Prusaeans is distributed around the design field.
