| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, depicted from behind (rear view), with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder.

| Reverse description | A horse advancing to the right, head lowered in a grazing posture, rendered in relief above a ground line that divides the field from the exergue. The composition is characteristic of the colonial bronze coinage of Alexandria Troas, where the horse served as a civic emblem. The Latin colonial legend is distributed around and below the central type, with AVG partially visible in the exergue beneath the ground line. |
