| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Domna facing right, her hair elaborately waved and arranged in the characteristic Severan style with a central parting and coiled bun at the nape, set within a beaded border. The empress is depicted with naturalistic portraiture typical of Phrygian civic bronze coinage of the early third century AD. The Greek legend ΙΟΥΛΙΑ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗ encircles the bust, identifying her as Julia Augusta. |

| Reverse description | Athena, helmeted and draped, stands facing left in a dignified contrapposto pose, extending a patera in her right hand and holding a long vertical spear in her left. The goddess is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Phrygian civic bronzes, with drapery falling in schematic folds. The ethnic legend ΚΟΤΙΑΕΩΝ is disposed around the field, identifying the issuing city of Cotiaeum, within a beaded border. |
