The effigy is rendered in the provincial Greek artistic tradition, set within a dotted border. The circular legend reads ΙΟΥΛΙΑ ΑΥΓΟΥϹΤΑ around the bust. |

| Reverse description | Dionysus standing facing with head turned to the left, nude or semi-draped in the Hellenistic tradition, holding a cantharus (wine cup) in his right hand and resting his left arm upon a thyrsus (the fennel-staff of Dionysus). The deity is depicted in a relaxed contrapposto pose. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. |
