| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Diadumenianus as Caesar, facing right and viewed from the rear, with the legend encircling the field. The portrait renders the young prince in a military garb typical of provincial bronze coinage of the period, with careful attention to the layering of the paludamentum over the cuirass. |

| Obverse lettering | Μ ΟΠΕΛ ΑΝΤΩ ΔΙΑΔΟΥΜΕΝΙΑΝΟϹ ΚΑΙϹΑΡ (Translation: Marcus Opellius Antoninus Diadumenianus Caesar) |
| Reverse description | Nemesis standing facing with head turned to the left, raising her right hand to pluck at her chiton at the neckline in the characteristic apotropaic gesture, and holding a cubit rod in her left hand. The goddess is rendered in the classical tradition common to provincial Bithynian coinage, and the composition is well-centred within the circular field, with the legend disposed around the periphery. |
