| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Domna facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed and bound with a diadem in the characteristic Severan style. The effigy is rendered in moderate relief, with the folds of the imperial drapery visible at the shoulder. The circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait in the field. |

The composition emphasizes the military character of the Roman presence in Bithynia. The ethnic legend of the city of Nicaea appears in the lower field and exergual area. |
