| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, viewed from the front, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The imperial effigy is rendered in the provincial style typical of Asia Minor civic bronzes. A circular Greek legend surrounds the bust within a beaded border, partially legible on this heavily worn specimen. |

| Reverse description | Dionysus standing facing, head turned to the left, holding a long thyrsus adorned with a fillet in his right hand and extending a cantharus toward a panther positioned at his left side. The composition reflects standard Dionysiac iconography common in the civic coinage of Caria and the Pergamene conventus during the Severan period. The field is plain, and the Greek ethnic legend of the issuing city encircles the type. |
