| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Mysian civic coinage. The emperor's effigy is depicted with characteristic short beard and laurel wreath. The circumferential Greek legend is distributed around the bust within a dotted border. The portrait conveys imperial authority adapted to local artistic conventions of the Hadrianic-era mint. |

| Reverse description | Artemis, the divine huntress, strides vigorously to the right in a dynamic pose, her right hand drawing an arrow from the quiver at her shoulder while her left hand extends to hold the bow. A hound bounds at her feet, a characteristic attribute of the goddess in her role as Mistress of the Hunt. The figure is rendered in a lively provincial style consistent with Mysian civic bronzes. The ethnic legend ΑΔΡΙΑΝΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing city of Hadriani ad Olympum. The design is framed within a dotted border. |
