| Obverse description | Draped bust of Tyche facing right, wearing a turreted mural crown with pronounced battlements, rendered in a bold Hellenistic style typical of civic bronze coinage of Phrygia. The hair is swept back beneath the crown, with facial features exhibiting a serene, forward-gazing expression. The field is plain with no visible legend or exergual inscription. |

| Reverse description | A lion seated to the left in profile, its right forepaw raised in a heraldic gesture of power, a device emblematic of the city of Laodikeia. The Greek ethnic legend ΛAOΔIKEΩN curves around the figure, distributed within the field in the manner characteristic of Phrygian civic bronzes of the late Hellenistic period. The composition is compact and boldly struck, consistent with hand-hammered die production. |
