| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gaius Julius Verus Maximus Caesar facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic provincial style. The effigy presents the young Caesar in full military attire, with the paludamentum fastened at the shoulder visible behind the cuirass. A circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait in the field. |

| Reverse description | The river god Smardos reclines to the left in the traditional fluvial deity pose, his body semi-recumbent and supported on a vessel (vas) from which water flows. He holds a reed in one hand, a conventional attribute of river divinities in provincial coinage. A bird, facing left, appears behind the figure in the upper field. The ethnic legend of Phocaea and the abbreviated name of the river deity are inscribed around the type. |
