| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Maesa facing right, her hair elaborately waved and arranged in ridged bands drawn back from the face in the characteristic Severan dynastic style. The effigy occupies the central field, rendered with typical provincial workshop execution. A Greek legend encircles the bust, identifying the empress with her Augustan title. |

| Reverse description | Three military standards displayed upright side by side, each surmounted by a wreath, with horizontal crossbars and decorative roundels adorning the shafts. The standards are shown in a symmetrical arrangement filling the central field, a common civic and military motif on Bithynian provincial coinage. The ethnic legend of the issuing city appears below the standards. |
