| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Diadumenianus facing right, rendered from a three-quarter rear perspective. The youthful effigy is presented with characteristic provincial die-cutting of Phrygia. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, identifying the subject as Marcus Antoninus Diadumenianus Caesar. The portrait reflects the conventional honorific treatment accorded to the young co-emperor on provincial civic issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | Poseidon depicted standing left in the field, his weight shifted onto his right leg, which rests upon the prow of a ship — an iconographic element emphasizing naval dominion. The deity holds a dolphin in his extended right hand and a long trident in his left. The composition is a well-attested civic type for Dorylaeum, asserting the city's mythological connections. The encircling Greek legend in the exergual and peripheral areas reads ΔΟΡΥΛΑΕΩΝ, identifying the issuing community. |
