| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of the Roman Senate personified facing right, rendered as a mature male effigy with idealized classical features. The Greek legend ΙΕΡΑ ϹΥΝΚΛΗΤΟϹ (Sacred Senate) surrounds the bust within the field. The depiction follows the Pergamene provincial coinage tradition of honoring the Roman Senate as a divine entity. The style is consistent with mid-third century AD provincial die-cutting. |

| Reverse description | Athena, clad in helmet and aegis, standing left in a frontal pose with head turned slightly downward. She holds an upright spear in her left hand with a grounded shield at her side, and extends a patera in her right hand over a lighted altar at her feet. The composition reflects the civic cult of Athena as patron deity of Pergamum. The surrounding legend identifies the issuing city and its neocorate status. The overall reverse type emphasizes Pergamum's deep religious and political prestige within the Roman provincial system. |
