| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Emperor Severus Alexander facing right, rendered in the typical provincial style of the Ionian workshops. The portrait is set within a circular field with a continuous Greek legend running along the periphery. The die workmanship reflects the local engraving tradition of the Samian mint, with modest but recognizable imperial portraiture. |

| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ Κ Μ ΑΥΡ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟϹ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Marcus Aurelius Alexander) |
| Reverse description | A male figure, possibly a deity or civic personification, standing facing left, draped in a mantle and apparently holding a scroll or similar attribute in the extended hand. The figure occupies the central field, with the ethnic legend distributed around the periphery. The style is consistent with provincial Greek civic coinage of the Severan period, with somewhat schematic rendering of the drapery and attributes due to the small module. |
