| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the front, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The imperial effigy displays youthful features characteristic of Elagabalus's portraiture, with a radiate laurel wreath crowning the head. The Greek legend encircles the bust along the outer border, reading from left to right, framed by a dotted beaded border. The engraving reflects the provincial workshop style of Bithynian bronze coinage, with bold and slightly rough die-cutting typical of Nicomedian issues of this period. |
