| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the idealized Augustan portrait style typical of Greek civic coinage of Asia Minor. The emperor's features are cleanly delineated with a smooth, unadorned head. A Greek legend encircles the portrait in the field, identifying the issuing city and dedicating the coinage to the emperor. |

| Reverse description | Draped bust of Livia facing right, her hair arranged in the characteristic Julio-Claudian style with a central parting and waves drawn back, adorned with a diadem or stephane. The bust is rendered in a dignified provincial style consistent with Augustan-era civic bronzes of Lydia. The magistrates' names appear as a legend in the field around the portrait. |
