| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Geta as Caesar facing right, seen from the rear, with paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The legend surrounds the effigy in Greek characters. The flan is irregular and the surface shows typical provincial fabric, with the portrait rendered in a bold if somewhat provincial style characteristic of Lydian civic coinage under the Severan dynasty. |

| Reverse description | Eagle standing facing on a low base, head turned to the left, wings spread wide, holding a wreath in its beak. The civic ethnic legend ΛΑΟΔΙΚΕΩΝ is disposed around the type in the field, serving as the primary reverse inscription. The eagle type, a common emblem of Roman imperial authority on provincial bronzes, is rendered with spread tail feathers and strongly articulated wings, consistent with Severan-era civic issues from the conventus of Cibyra. |
