| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Macrinus facing right, depicted in three-quarter view from the front, with the laureate wreath, paludamentum, and cuirass rendered in typical provincial style. The bearded portrait displays the characteristic physiognomy of Macrinus with a full beard. The Greek imperial titulature legend encircles the bust along the periphery of the flan. The coin exhibits the somewhat coarse but vigorous engraving characteristic of Bithynian provincial bronzes of the Severan period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Prusias ad Hypium, a Bithynian city on the Hypius river, struck coins almost continuously under Roman imperial rule but left remarkably sparse documentation — municipal issues like this one survive largely through the coins themselves rather than literary sources. Macrinus reigned barely fourteen months after engineering the assassination of Caracalla, and provincial mints across Bithynia had little time to develop extensive series before his defeat by Elagabalus in June 218.
The brevity of his reign makes any Macrinus provincial bronze scarcer by default than comparable Severan issues from the same city.
