| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Macrinus facing right, presented in three-quarter rear view, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and cuirass detail rendered on the chest. The imperial effigy is set against a deeply patinated field with encircling Greek legend. The portrait style is characteristic of the provincial coinage of Bithynia, rendered in relatively high relief with a slightly irregular flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Macrinus ruled for just fourteen months before being overthrown by the forces of Elagabalus in June 218 AD, making any coin issued in his name — whether imperial or provincial — a product of an exceptionally compressed window. Nicaea, one of the most prolific civic minting centers in Bithynia, managed to produce issues for him nonetheless, a sign of how quickly the city's mint responded to new imperial authority regardless of its tenure.
The city's rivalry with Nicomedia for the title of provincial capital ran through its coinage politics for generations.
