| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Domna facing right, her hair elaborately waved and coiled at the nape in the characteristic Severan style. The legend IVLIA DOMNA A encircles the portrait, identifying her as Augusta. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style typical of Pisidian Antioch, with somewhat flattened relief consistent with local die-cutting traditions. The field shows natural wear and patination consistent with ancient bronze coinage. |

| Reverse description | Mên Nicephorus, the principal deity of Pisidian Antioch, depicted standing to the right, wearing a Phrygian cap with a crescent behind his shoulders. His left foot rests upon a bucranium, a common attribute in his iconography. In his left hand he holds a long scepter, while his right hand extends a globe surmounted by a Victory bearing a trophy upon her shoulder. A rooster stands to the lower left at his feet. The encircling legend MENCIS CO ANTIOCH identifies the deity and the issuing colonial authority. |
