| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the idealized Hellenistic portrait style typical of early Imperial provincial coinage. The effigy displays characteristic Augustan features with close-cropped hair. A Greek legend appears in the field, partially flanking the portrait. The coin is bordered by a dotted bead-and-reel pattern around the circumference. |

| Reverse description | Draped bust of Cybele facing left, wearing a turreted mural crown, her drapery rendered in stylized folds consistent with provincial Hellenistic workmanship. To the right behind the bust appears the forepart of a recumbent lion, the sacred animal of the goddess. The encircling Greek legend naming the local magistrate and civic ethnicon runs around the periphery of the field. |
