| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus facing right, the radiate crown rendered with elongated points. The imperial effigy is depicted in the characteristic Severan style, with drapery visible over the left shoulder. The Greek legend is disposed around the periphery of the flan in a circular arrangement, identifying the emperor by his imperial titulature. |

| Reverse description | Frontal view of an octastyle temple set upon a stepped podium, rendered in careful architectural detail with eight columns supporting an entablature and triangular pediment; a pellet or bust occupies the centre of the pediment, likely representing a divine figure or imperial image. The columns are depicted in low relief with the intercolumniation clearly articulated, and the stepped stylobate is visible at the base. The encircling Greek legend proclaims Nicomedia's twice-granted neocorate status, a mark of exceptional civic and religious prestige within the province of Bithynia. |
