| Obverse description | Draped bust of Artemis facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed and bound, wearing a stephane or diadem. A quiver strap is visible across the shoulder, consistent with her identity as the divine huntress. The surrounding field carries a partially legible Greek legend running along the inner border. The portrait is rendered in the provincial Roman style typical of Lydian civic coinage of the early Antonine period. |

| Reverse description | A stag standing or bounding to the right, depicted in a naturalistic style with branching antlers prominently rendered. The animal is the sacred creature of Artemis Persica, the principal deity of Hierocaesarea, and its depiction underscores the strong local religious identity of this civic coinage. The Greek ethnic legend ΙΕΡΟΚΑΙϹΑΡΕΩΝ encircles the type, distributed around the field and along the border. The design is enclosed within a beaded border characteristic of provincial bronze issues from Lydia. |
