| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus facing right, with the radiate crown rendered with prominent spikes. The imperial effigy is depicted in the typical provincial style of the Bithynian mint, with visible drapery over the left shoulder. A Greek legend surrounds the bust, running along the beaded border, identifying the emperor with his full titulature. |
