| Obverse description | Draped bust of Kore Soteira facing right, her head wreathed with grain ears (corn wreath), the portrait assimilated to that of Faustina II. The effigy is rendered in the local Mysian provincial style, with the drapery folds visible at the shoulder. The field is plain, enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A Capricorn — the hybrid sea-goat emblematic of Augustus and later adopted as an imperial symbol — depicted striding to the right, with the foreparts of a goat and a fish-tail curving behind. The creature's scaled body and radiating tail fin are rendered with fine detail despite the small module. The legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ, with the zeta formed in the distinctive local variant resembling the Japanese katakana character エ, is inscribed along the upper periphery within a beaded border. |
