| Obverse description | Bare-headed draped and cuirassed bust of Geta as Caesar facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The circlet of short hair and youthful physiognomy are characteristic of Geta's early portrait type. A Greek legend encircles the bust within a dotted border, identifying the subject as Publius Septimius Geta Caesar. |

| Reverse description | A boar standing right, transfixed by a diagonal spear thrust from upper right, the animal rendered with sturdy haunches and bristled dorsum in a lively hunting composition. The scene likely alludes to the mythological Calydonian boar hunt, a popular motif on Ephesian civic coinage. The ethnic legend ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ arcs across the upper field within a dotted border, asserting the civic identity of the issuing authority. |
