| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Septimius Severus facing right, rendered in the typical provincial style of Bithynian mint workshops. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic curled beard and laureate wreath. The encircling Greek legend occupies the field around the imperial effigy. The flan shows the broad, somewhat irregular fabric characteristic of provincial bronze coinage of the Severan period. |
