| Obverse description | Draped bust of Athena facing right, helmeted and wearing the aegis across her chest, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Lydian civic coinage of the Antonine period. The figure is depicted in right profile with the characteristic snake-bordered aegis visible at the shoulder. A Greek circular legend surrounds the bust, naming the civic magistrate. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat off-center, consistent with hand-hammered provincial bronze production. |

| Reverse description | The river-god Kaystros personified as a reclining male figure turned to the left, his nude or semi-draped body supported by his right arm resting upon an overturned water-urn from which water flows, while his left hand holds a long reed or marsh plant. This iconographic type is a standard representation of river deities in Greek and Roman provincial coinage, referencing the Kaystros River of Lydia. The ethnic legend ΚΑΥϹΤΡΟϹ appears in the field, identifying the river deity. A dotted border is visible along the lower edge of the coin. |
