| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Emperor Septimius Severus facing right, rendered in the characteristic Severan style with short curled beard and hair. The imperial legend is disposed around the periphery of the flan. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show the typical granular texture of provincial bronze coinage struck under the Severan dynasty. |

| Reverse description | An ithyphallic herm of the bearded fertility deity Priapus standing facing left, depicted in the conventional pillar-herm form with the characteristic exaggerated phallus, typical of cult imagery associated with Priapus in Asia Minor. The ethnic legend ΚΑΜΗΝΩΝ is disposed around the field, identifying the issuing community. The type reflects the local religious traditions of the Cameans within the conventus of Pergamum. |
