| Obverse description | Draped bust of Annia Faustina facing right, wearing a diadem, rendered in the provincial portrait style typical of Ephesian bronzes of the Severan period. The effigy is encircled by a beaded border, with the Greek imperial titulature legend disposed around the bust in the field. The portrait exhibits the characteristic drapery folds over the right shoulder, consistent with official female imperial imagery of the early third century AD. |

| Reverse description | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, advancing to the left in full stride, her wings spread behind her. She holds a palm branch in her left hand and extends a wreath in her right hand, attributes emblematic of triumph and civic honour. The figure is rendered in the dynamic Hellenistic tradition characteristic of Ephesian provincial coinage, set within a beaded border, with the civic ethnic legend disposed in the field around the type. |
