| Obverse description | Bare head of Gaius Caesar facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition typical of provincial Asia Minor coinage. The youthful effigy is depicted with close-cropped hair and a plain neck, without laurel wreath or diadem. The Greek legend ΓΑΙΟΝ ΚΕΦΑΛΙΩΝ is distributed around the portrait in the field, identifying the subject and the magistrate or issuing authority. The flan is irregular and the relief is moderately high, consistent with hammered provincial bronze coinage of the Augustan period. |

| Reverse description | Bare head of Lucius Caesar facing right, similarly styled to the obverse portrait of his brother Gaius, reflecting the Augustan dynastic programme promoted throughout the eastern provinces. The youthful bust is unadorned, with short hair and a plain truncation. The abbreviated Greek legend ΛΕΥΚΙΟΝ appears in the field around the portrait, identifying the subject as Lucius Caesar. The coin's reverse flan displays the characteristic irregular outline of hand-struck provincial bronze coinage. |
