| Obverse description | Radiate bust of Helios facing right, with long radiate crown emitting rays and draped shoulders, rendered in the Hellenistic provincial style. The youthful, idealized effigy displays characteristic loose locks of hair framing the face, consistent with the solar deity's iconography on Phrygian civic coinage. No legend is present on the obverse field. |

| Reverse description | A cornucopia, depicted upright and abundantly filled with ears of grain and various fruits, symbolizing fertility and prosperity. Nestled in the inner curve of the cornucopia, the infant Plutos is seated facing left, with his right arm raised toward a pendant ear of corn, an iconographic reference to the wealth of the harvest. The composition is a common civic type employed by Laodicea ad Lycum to express agrarian abundance under Roman imperial rule. |
