| Obverse lettering | ΑΝΤΩΝΕΙΝΟϹ ΑΥΓΟΥϹΤΟϹ (Translation: Antoninus Augustus) |
| Reverse description | Athena or Roma seated left upon a throne, extending the right hand to hold a patera and resting the left hand upon a tall sceptre or spear. The figure is rendered in a dignified, classicising style typical of civic bronze coinage from Nicomedia under the Severan dynasty. The encircling Greek legend proclaims the city's proud status as twice neocorate, underscoring Nicomedia's religious prestige and its role as a keeper of the imperial cult. |
