| Beschrijving keerzijde | The river god Hypios, eponymous deity of the city, depicted as a reclining male figure leaning to the left upon a rocky outcrop. He holds a branch in his right hand and a reed in his left, while resting his arm upon an overturned water urn from which water flows, a standard iconographic attribute of river deities in Greco-Roman art. The figure is rendered semi-nude in the classical tradition, with drapery across the lower body. The ethnic legend of the Prusians appears in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority. |

Prusias ad Hypium — modern Konuralp in northwestern Turkey — was a Bithynian city whose coins under Severus reflect the broader autonomy Roman provincial cities retained over their local bronze issues. The city name itself embeds both its geography and identity: "Hypius" for the river Hypios running nearby, "Prusias" for the Bithynian king who refounded it. Provincial bronzes of this reign are frequently underrepresented in major collections because systematic cataloguing of Bithynian civic coinage lagged well behind the Roman imperial series for most of the twentieth century.
