Obverse description Draped bust of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet and aegis. The goddess is depicted with flowing hair partially visible beneath the helmet, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of the Lydian conventus. The bust is set without legend in the field, occupying the majority of the flan, with the aegis visible at the shoulder and chest.

Reverse description Winged Nemesis standing facing, head turned to the left, holding a cubit rule in her right hand and raising her left hand to her chiton at the neckline, a gesture of modesty and divine retribution. The figure is rendered in the compact provincial style typical of Lydian civic bronzes of the Severan period. The ethnic legend is inscribed around the figure in the field.
