| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Domna facing right, her hair elaborately waved and drawn into a bun at the nape, rendered in the typical Severan court style. The effigy occupies the central field, with the Greek legend disposed around the periphery. The coin, heavily worn and encrusted with green and brown patina, renders the portrait details only partially legible. |

| Reverse description | Cybele, the Phrygian mother goddess, depicted seated to the left upon a throne, extending a patera in her right hand and resting her left arm on a tympanum (frame drum). A lion, her sacred attribute, crouches at her feet to the left. The civic legend of the Saittians encircles the reverse field. The flan is irregular and the surfaces heavily patinated, consistent with a locally produced provincial bronze issue. |
