| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, rendered in three-quarter view seen from the rear, with the paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder. The portrait displays the characteristic youthful features of the prince, with a laureate wreath of tightly beaded leaves crowning the head. The encircling Greek legend runs along the outer border of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Tyche standing left, wearing a turreted crown and long chiton, holding in her right hand the cult statue of Artemis of Ephesus — depicted facing, wearing a kalathos and flanked by supporting stags — and in her left hand a cornucopia, symbol of abundance. The composition reflects Ephesus's pride in the Artemision and its neocorate status. The Greek legend encircles the reverse field. |
