| Obverse description | Laureate head of Caracalla (or possibly Elagabalus) facing right, with neck truncation visible. A partial Greek legend surrounds the effigy in the field, partially legible due to die wear and irregular flan. The portrait is rendered in the provincial style typical of Mesopotamian civic coinage of the Severan period. |

| Reverse description | Sagittarius depicted as a centaur advancing to the right, drawing a bow with arrow nocked; a severed head or bucranium appears in the field behind. A partial Greek legend in retrograde characters is distributed around the type. The reverse type is a civic emblem associated with the mint city of Rhesaena, rendered in a somewhat crude provincial die-cutting style. |
