| Obverse description | Draped bust of Agrippina II facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed and adorned with ears of corn and poppy, attributes evoking her association with Demeter and imperial fertility iconography. The effigy is rendered in the characteristic Julio-Claudian portrait style, with fine drapery visible at the truncation of the shoulder. A beaded border encircles the design. The Greek legend ΑΓΡΙΠΠΙΝΑΝ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΗΝ arcs around the periphery, identifying the empress as Augusta. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Artemis facing right, depicted in the act of drawing an arrow from her quiver with her right hand while grasping a bow in her left, rendered in a dynamic hunting pose. Before her stands a diminutive figure of Nike facing left, holding a palm branch and a wreath, underscoring the civic and imperial honorific character of the issue. The Greek legend ΕΠΙ ΛΕΥΚΙΟΥ ΣΕΡΟΥΗΝΙΟΥ ΚΑΠΙΤΩΝΟΣ ΑΚΜΟΝΕΩΝ encircles the design, citing the magistrate Lucius Servenius Capito and the city of Acmonea. A beaded border frames the entire composition. |
