| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Septimius Severus facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's distinctive bearded effigy with radiate wreath of laurel. The Greek imperial titulature legend runs along the periphery of the flan. The die work, though heavily worn, exhibits the typical robust portraiture associated with Severan provincial issues. |
