| Obverse description | Draped bust of Athena facing right, helmeted and wearing the aegis, depicted in profile. The helmet is of Corinthian type, with visible crest detail. The peripheral legend ϹΑΛΗΝΩΝ encircles the bust within the field. The overall style is consistent with provincial bronze coinage of western Asia Minor under Marcus Aurelius. |

| Reverse description | Cybele, turreted and draped, seated to the left upon a throne, extending her right hand forward holding a patera above a lion standing at her feet. Her left arm rests upon a tympanum positioned to her side. The composition is characteristic of Lydian civic coinage and reflects the prominent cult of Cybele in the region. The magistrate's name legend ΕΠΙ ΔΑΜΑ appears in the field, with the delta rendered with distinctively elongated serifs. |
