| Obverse description | Draped bust of Empress Sabina facing right, her hair elaborately arranged in the Hadrianic court style. The legend encircles the bust in Greek characters identifying her as Augusta. The portrait is rendered in the provincial die-cutting tradition characteristic of the Sardis conventus, with relatively fine detail for a civic issue. |

| Reverse description | The river god Phrygius reclines to the left, his semi-nude figure rendered in the conventional Hellenistic personification style for river deities. He holds a reed in his extended right hand and a cornucopia in his left arm; behind him, an overturned vase emits a stream of flowing water, symbolizing the river's source. The ethnic legend appears in the exergue, identifying the issuing civic community. |
