| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Domna facing right, her characteristic elaborately waved and crimped hair dressed in a large bun at the nape of the neck. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage, with the drapery indicated by incised folds across the shoulder and chest. The circumferential legend in Latin runs around the bust. |

| Reverse description | The satyr Marsyas depicted standing and facing right, his naked body shown in a dynamic contrapposto pose with his right arm raised aloft and a wineskin draped over his left shoulder. The figure is rendered in the local provincial idiom characteristic of Bithynian colonial coinage of the Severan period. The colonial legend is disposed around the field, with individual letters flanking the central type, referencing the status of Apamea as a Roman colony governed by its decurions. |
