| Obverse description | Laureate head of Geta facing right, with short beard and draped bust visible at truncation. The portrait is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of the Ionian mint at Magnesia ad Maeandrum. The obverse legend, partially legible around the periphery, identifies the emperor. The flan is somewhat irregular, typical of provincial bronze coinage of the Severan period. |

| Reverse description | Dionysus standing facing, head turned to left, lower body draped in a himation, holding a cantharus in his raised right hand and resting his left arm on a thyrsus. At his feet to the left crouches a panther, his sacred animal, looking upward toward the deity. The civic ethnic legend ΜΑΓΝΗΤΩΝ is disposed around the field, identifying the issuing city of Magnesia ad Maeandrum. The composition follows a well-established Dionysiac type popular in the civic bronze coinage of Ionia during the Severan period. |
