| Obverse description | Bare, youthful laureate head of the Demos facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic civic portrait tradition. The hair is arranged in soft waves framing the face, with a laurel wreath encircling the crown. The legend ΔΗΜοϹ appears in the field, identifying the personified Demos of Tomara. The portrait is modeled in fine relief with naturalistic facial features typical of provincial Lydian bronzes of the Antonine period. |

| Reverse description | Eagle standing on a horizontal ground line, facing left with wings spread prominently outward in heraldic display. The bird is rendered with detailed feathering across the wings and body, its talons gripping the base line. The ethnic legend ΤοΜΑΡΗΝΩΝ, denoting the citizens of Tomara, is arranged around the periphery of the field. This eagle type is a characteristic reverse motif of Lydian provincial coinage under the Antonine emperors. |
