| Obverse description | Bust of Heracles facing right, the head laureate and bearded, assimilated to the portrait of Emperor Commodus, with a lion skin draped about the neck — a reference to the emperor's well-documented identification with Heracles during the later years of his reign. The bust is rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of the Lydian mint of Thyatira. No obverse legend is present on this issue. |

| Reverse description | A lyre depicted facing, rendered in a schematic but recognisable style with a rounded resonating body, two upright arms, and multiple strings indicated between them — an allusion to Apollo, a deity closely associated with the city of Thyatira. The ethnic legend ΘΥΑΤΕΙΡΗΝΩΝ (of the Thyatirenians) is inscribed in the right field, reading downward in Greek characters. |
