| Obverse description | Draped and cuirassed bust of Geta facing right, depicted from the rear, with bare head and youthful features. The paludamentum is rendered with fine folds at the shoulder, and the cuirass is visible beneath. A Greek legend surrounds the bust in the field, partially legible due to wear. The portrait displays the characteristic style of provincial Lydian coinage of the Severan period. |

| Reverse description | Tyche, the city goddess, depicted standing to the left in a long chiton and himation. She holds a ship's rudder and two ears of grain in her right hand, symbolising prosperity and maritime fortune, while her left hand clasps a cornucopia overflowing with fruits. The figure is rendered in the typical Hellenistic tradition of Lydian civic bronzes, with the encircling Greek ethnic legend identifying the issuing community. |
