| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Geta as Caesar facing right, draped and cuirassed, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder, rendered in three-quarter frontal perspective. The portrait displays the characteristic youthful features and short curly hair of Geta, with fine detailing in the cuirass and drapery folds. The circular Greek legend surrounds the effigy, reading Λ ϹΕΠΤΙΜΙ ΓΕΤΑϹ ΚΑΙϹ, identifying him as Lucius Septimius Geta Caesar. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, characteristic of provincial bronze coinage from Bithynia. |
