| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of the god Apollo facing right, rendered in low relief within a dotted border. The laureate wreath is rendered with individual leaves, and the drapery is indicated at the truncation of the shoulder. The portrait is set within a plain circular field with a beaded inner border. The style is characteristic of the civic bronze coinage of Antioch on the Orontes during the Antonine period. |

| Reverse description | A lyre depicted facing, with multiple strings rendered in low relief between two curved arms joined at the top by a crossbar. The instrument is flanked by the Greek letters T (left) and O (right), representing a civic or magistrate abbreviation. The whole design is set within a dotted border, the field otherwise plain. The lyre, as the sacred instrument of Apollo, directly echoes the deity portrayed on the obverse. |
