Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, a characteristic provincial portraiture convention of the period. The imperial effigy displays the laurel wreath, paludamentum, and body armour typical of military emperor portraits on Asiatic provincial bronzes. The encircling Greek legend occupies the field around the bust, running along the periphery of the flan. The style and fabric are consistent with the civic mint output of Neapolis ad Harpasum in Caria during the reign of Gordian III.

Beschrijving keerzijde Athena, the tutelary deity of the city, depicted standing to the left in a composed, stately pose characteristic of Hellenistic divine imagery. The goddess holds an upright spear in her right hand while her left hand rests upon a large round shield set at her feet. The figure is rendered in the long-established iconographic tradition of Athena Promachos, adapted here for civic coinage. The ethnic legend ΝΕΑΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ encircles the reverse field, identifying the issuing city. The overall composition is typical of Carian civic bronzes of the Severan and Gordian periods.
