| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, depicted from behind, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and the cuirass rendered in relief. The imperial effigy is presented in the typical provincial three-quarter rear view favored in Asia Minor civic bronzes of the Severan period. A Greek imperial legend encircles the bust within the field. |

| Reverse description | Tyche, the civic goddess of fortune, stands facing left, wearing a kalathos (modius) upon her head as an emblem of civic prosperity. She holds a ship's rudder downward in her right hand, resting it on the ground, and carries a cornucopia in her left arm, symbolizing abundance. The figure is rendered in the conventional Hellenistic style typical of Lydian provincial bronzes of the early third century AD. The Greek legend of the issuing city encircles the reverse field. |
