| Obverse description | Laureate head of Septimius Severus facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Moesian mint issues, with the laurel wreath depicted in raised relief. The legend is partially visible around the periphery of the flan, reading AV KAI CEVHΡOC in Greek characters. The portrait displays the characteristic bearded effigy of Severus, with drapery visible at the shoulder truncation. The coin shows a border of dots along the rim. |

| Reverse description | Naked and winged figure of Thanatos, the personification of Death, standing facing with legs crossed in a relaxed contrapposto posture. The figure leans upon an inverted, downward-pointing flaming torch, the base of which rests upon a garlanded altar in the lower field. The wings are spread behind the figure, and the composition conveys the funerary symbolism characteristic of Moesian provincial bronze coinage. The encircling legend NIKOPOLI ΠΡOC ICTΡ identifies the issuing city of Nicopolis ad Istrum. |
