Obverse description	Bare-headed, cuirassed bust of Geta as Caesar facing right, rendered in three-quarter frontal perspective. The cuirass is adorned with a gorgoneion at the centre of the breastplate, a characteristic decorative element on imperial military portraits of the Severan period. The Greek legend is disposed around the periphery of the flan, identifying the subject as Lucius Septimius Geta Caesar.

Reverse description	Asclepius, the god of medicine, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left. The deity holds his characteristic attribute, a knotted serpent staff (the Rod of Asclepius), in his right hand, with the serpent coiled about it. The figure is rendered in the conventional Hellenistic manner typical of provincial Phrygian bronzes of the Severan era. The ethnic legend of the issuing city encircles the reverse field.
