| Obverse description | Draped bust of Faustina II facing right, her hair elaborately dressed and drawn back, visible as a smooth coiffure with bun at the nape of the neck, characteristic of her earlier portrait type. A partial Greek legend appears in the field to the left of the effigy. The portraiture is executed in the provincial style typical of Lydian civic coinage under the Antonine dynasty. |

| Reverse description | A veiled female figure stands facing, rendered in a static, frontal composition typical of provincial Lydian bronzes. She holds an uncertain object in her hands, possibly a cista mystica, an attribute associated with Dionysiac or mystery cult iconography common in the Ephesus conventus region. The reverse legend, partially preserved, identifies the issuing civic authority of Briula. The style is characteristic of small-denomination provincial civic issues of the mid-second century AD. |
