| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Geta as Caesar facing right, depicted from behind to show the rear of the cuirass, with finely rendered curled hair. The legend in Greek characters encircles the bust within a beaded border. The portrait displays the youthful physiognomy characteristic of Geta's early coinage from Nicaea, with a paludamentum visible at the shoulder. |
