| Obverse description | Youthful bare head of Heracles assimilated to Alexander the Great, wearing the Nemean lion-scalp headdress, facing right. The facial features are rendered in the Hellenistic tradition, with the lion's mane framing the head and the paws visible at the neck. The Greek civic legend ΕΥΚΑΡΠΕΩΝ appears in the right field. The flan is irregular and slightly worn, consistent with local Phrygian bronze production of the Antonine period. |

| Reverse description | Telesphorus, the chthonic deity of convalescence and companion of Asclepius, depicted standing facing, enveloped in a long hooded cloak that entirely covers his diminutive figure, with only the face visible beneath the hood. The figure stands on a plain ground line at center, rendered in low relief typical of provincial Phrygian bronze coinage. The magistrate's inscription ΕΠΙ Γ ΚΛ ΦΛΑΚΚΟΥ surrounds the type in the field, identifying the local strategos or grammateus responsible for the issue. |
