| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, depicted from the rear, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and segmented cuirass details rendered in low relief. The effigy occupies the central field, with the Greek imperial legend disposed around the periphery. The portrait style is consistent with provincial workshop production of the Severan period, displaying characteristic heavy-featured modelling. |

| Reverse description | Tyche, the tutelary deity of the city, stands facing left in long robes, holding a ship's rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left arm, emblems of fortune and civic prosperity. The figure is rendered in a hieratic, frontal posture characteristic of provincial Anatolian bronze coinage of the Severan era. The ethnic legend ΛΑΟΔΙΚΕΩΝ is disposed around the field, identifying the issuing city. A dotted border frames the design. |
