| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Macrinus facing right, viewed from the front, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Bithynian civic coinage, with the laureate wreath clearly defined. A circular dotted border frames the design, and the imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery in Greek characters. |

Macrinus ruled for just fourteen months before being defeated by the forces of Elagabalus at the Battle of Antioch in June 218 — making any provincial bronze struck in his name inherently short-dated. Nicaea, one of the most prolific civic minting authorities in Bithynia, produced a relatively narrow corpus under his name compared to neighboring Nicomedia, which complicates die-linking studies for this reign.
The city's designation ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ reflects Nicaea's civic pride and ongoing rivalry with Nicomedia over which city held primacy in the province.
