| Obverse description | Ivy-wreathed head of Dionysus facing right, with a thyrsus resting over his left shoulder, rendered in the Hellenistic provincial style typical of Phrygian civic coinage. The hair is depicted in loose, flowing locks beneath the wreath, and the facial features display a youthful, idealized character. A Greek legend encircles the bust in the field, identifying the issuing cities. |

| Reverse description | Apollo depicted as a rider, advancing on horseback to the right, brandishing a double axe (labrys) in his raised right hand. The horse is shown in full stride, rendered in a vigorous provincial style characteristic of Phrygian civic bronzes of the mid-third century AD. The encircling Greek legend references the neocorate status and the Homonoia (concord) alliance between the two cities. |
