| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, depicted from the rear, with paludamentum and segmented armour visible. The portrait is rendered in the assertive provincial style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage of the Severan period. The encircling Greek legend runs around the bust within the coin's field, partially legible on this heavily worn specimen. |

| Reverse description | A tetrastyle temple facade depicted in frontal elevation, its pediment surmounted by acroteria, with four columns framing the entrance. Within the intercolumniation stands a cult statue of a deity, rendered frontally. The composition reflects the standard civic temple type employed on Bithynian provincial bronzes to celebrate the imperial cult or a local divinity. The Greek legend naming the city encircles the design, though heavily worn on this example. |
