| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, with the radiate crown clearly rendered in relief. The portrait displays the characteristic youthful yet stern features associated with Caracalla's early coinage from the Bithynian mint at Nicaea. A dotted border frames the periphery of the flan. The encircling Greek legend reads ΑΝΤΩΝΕΙΝΟϹ ΑΥΓΟΥϹΤΟϹ. The coin exhibits a pierced hole near the upper edge of the flan, indicating post-mint use as a pendant or ornament. |
