| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Severus Alexander facing right, viewed from the front, with the effigy rendered in the provincial style typical of Phrygian civic coinage. The bust is set against a plain field, with the imperial titulature distributed around the periphery as a continuous legend. The portraiture reflects the conventional representation of the emperor in military dress, consistent with issues of the Conventus of Apamea. |

| Reverse description | The Emperor depicted on horseback, the horse prancing to the right, the rider wearing a chlamys (military cloak) billowing behind him in the customary equestrian representation of imperial authority. The composition fills the field with the mounted figure rendered in a bold, if somewhat crude, provincial style. The civic ethnic legend of Acmonea is distributed around the design, identifying the issuing city. |
