| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Severus Alexander facing right, with naturalistic portrait features typical of Severan-era provincial coinage. The bust is draped, rendered in low relief, and surrounded by a partial circular legend in Greek characters. The flan is irregular and slightly undersized, characteristic of Phrygian civic bronze issues of the period. |

| Reverse description | Eagle standing right with head turned to the left, wings spread in a heraldic display, occupying the central field. The design is bold and typical of Phrygian provincial civic bronzes, with the eagle serving as a symbol of imperial authority. A circular Greek legend surrounds the type, naming the city of Philomelium and the presiding magistrate Paulos. The flan is worn and irregular, consistent with the small provincial Æ16 denomination. |
