| Obverse description | Draped bust of Artemis facing right, depicted as huntress; she carries a bow adorned with a stag's head terminal, with a quiver visible over her left shoulder. The legend ΕΠΙ Λ ΤΥ(ΛΛΙ) appears in the field, referencing the civic magistrate or curator Lucius Tullius under whose authority the coin was struck. The style is consistent with provincial bronze coinage of Asia Minor under Trajan, with a somewhat irregular flan typical of the series. |

The reverse legend ΓΡΙΜΕΝΟΘΥΡΕ(ΩΝ) encircles the type, identifying the issuing civic community of the Grimenothyraeans. The composition reflects standard Phrygian provincial iconography, emphasising agricultural fertility and civic identity. |
