| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Geta as Caesar facing right, with youthful features and short hair, the portrait rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of the Severan period. A Greek legend surrounds the effigy in the field. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with hand-struck provincial bronze coinage of Asia Minor. |

| Reverse description | Asclepius, the god of medicine, standing facing with head turned to the left, draped in a himation, his weight resting on a knotted serpent-entwined staff (the asklepian) held in his right hand. The figure is rendered in a frontal pose characteristic of provincial civic coinage of Asia Minor under the Severan dynasty. The ethnic legend of the issuing community encircles the type in the field. |
