| Obverse description | Draped and helmeted bust of the goddess Roma facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Phrygian civic coinage of the Severan period. A circular legend in Greek characters surrounds the bust within a plain border. The overall execution is consistent with local die-cutting traditions of the Conventus of Synnada. |

| Reverse description | Two clasped right hands (dextrarum iunctio) holding a caduceus upright between them, symbolizing alliance and concord. Below the central motif, partial remains of additional devices are visible, consistent with provincial Phrygian civic issues. The field is framed by a dotted border. The Greek ethnic legend of the issuing city encircles the design. The style is typical of bronze civic coinage struck at Amorium under the Severan dynasty. |
