| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of the Emperor Caracalla facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Lydian civic coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic short beard and strong features, with the paludamentum visible at the shoulder. A partial Greek legend encircles the bust in the field. |

| Reverse description | Artemis, the divine huntress, striding briskly to the right with head turned back to the left, her garment gathered about her figure. She extends her left arm forward grasping a bow, while her right hand reaches back over her shoulder to draw an arrow from the quiver suspended there. A hound runs at her feet, completing the classic iconographic scheme of the goddess as mistress of the hunt. The ethnic legend TΡAΛΛIANΩN appears in the field, identifying the civic authority of Tralles in Lydia. |
