| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Pescennius Niger facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style with a bearded effigy. The legend runs around the periphery in Greek characters within a dotted border, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The portrait displays characteristic late-Antonine stylistic conventions adapted for provincial coinage, with the laurel wreath rendered in moderate relief. |

The figure is rendered in the classical Hellenistic tradition typical of Bithynian provincial bronzes, occupying the central field. The Greek legend of the issuing city encircles the type within a dotted border. |
