| Obverse description | Draped bust of the Demos of Laodicea, bearded and laureate, facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Phrygian civic coinage. The portrait displays curling hair and beard with naturalistic modelling, encircled by the civic legend in Greek characters along the periphery of the flan. The image personifies the collective citizenry of Laodicea ad Lycum as a dignified male figure, echoing the iconographic conventions of imperial portraiture adapted for civic allegory. |

| Reverse description | Full-length standing figure of Zeus Laodiceus facing left, rendered in the hieratic style characteristic of provincial Phrygian bronze coinage. The deity holds an eagle in his outstretched right hand and a long sceptre in his left, his robes falling in stylised folds to his feet. The surrounding field is filled with the name of the local magistrate (grammateus) Publius Aelius Dionysios Sabinianos, inscribed in Greek across the field and along the periphery, attesting to his civic responsibility for the coin issue. |
