| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Domitian facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Asia Minor civic coinage. The effigy displays the characteristic laurel wreath of imperial portraiture, with facial features rendered in moderate relief. The encircling Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan. The overall style reflects local Phrygian die-cutting traditions of the Flavian period. |

| Reverse description | Apollo on horseback advancing to the right, holding a double axe (labrys) — a distinctly Anatolian religious attribute reflecting the syncretic character of Apollo worship in Phrygia. The rider is depicted in profile with the horse shown in a dynamic walking or trotting pose. The legend surrounds the type in two registers, naming the asiarch responsible for the issue and identifying the issuing civic community of Eumenea. The double axe iconography links this type to the ancient Lydian-Phrygian cult tradition adopted into the local Apollo worship. |
