| Obverse description | Bare head of Heracles facing right, the portrait assimilated to that of the bearded emperor Commodus, rendered in the local provincial style typical of Lydian civic coinage. The bust is unadorned and unlaureate, emphasizing the Heraclean iconographic tradition favored at Thyatira. No legend is visible on the obverse field. |

| Reverse description | A tripod cauldron depicted facing, with a flat lid surmounting a deep bowl supported on three legs joined by a stretcher bar, rendered in a schematic but recognizable style. The tripod is a key cultic symbol associated with Apollo and reflects the religious traditions of Thyatira and the broader Lydian region. The Greek ethnic legend ΘΥΑΤΙΡΗΝΩΝ is disposed around the reverse field, reading partially to the left and partially to the right of the central device. |
