| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Domna facing right, her hair elaborately waved and coiled at the nape in the characteristic Severan style. The effigy is rendered in the provincial workshop tradition, with the empress depicted in drapery visible at the truncation. The encircling Greek legend identifies the subject as Augusta Julia, running along the periphery of the field. |

| Reverse description | The lunar deity Mên depicted standing left, clad in a short chiton and wearing the characteristic Phrygian cap, with a crescent at his shoulders. In his right hand he holds a pine cone and in his left a long sceptre, both attributes typical of this deity's iconography in the Lydian region. The surrounding Greek legend proclaims the neocorate status of Sardes, distributed around the periphery of the field. |
