| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Caracalla facing right, portrayed with the shoulder and upper back visible in a three-quarter rear view, conveying a militaristic and imperial presence. The laureate wreath encircles the head, while the paludamentum drapes over the cuirass, details characteristic of Severan provincial coinage. The Greek legend encircles the bust along the periphery within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The emperor depicted in full military attire, standing facing with head turned to the left, extending his right hand over a lighted altar at his side while pouring a libation from a patera, and holding a long spear upright in his left hand. The composition emphasizes imperial piety and martial authority, rendered in the bold relief style typical of Bithynian civic bronzes of the Severan period. The ethnic legend of Nicaea appears in the field, enclosed within a beaded border. |
