| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of the emperor Hadrian facing right, draped with paludamentum over the left shoulder. The portrait displays characteristic Hadrianic style with a close-cropped beard, rendered in fine provincial die work. The encircling Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan. The coin presents a dark brown patina with areas of reddish-brown earthen deposits consistent with prolonged burial, as visible on the heavily worn surface. |

| Reverse description | Frontal cult statue of a standing goddess, tentatively identified as Mâ, wearing a kalathos (cylindrical headdress) and a belted peplos, rendered in the hieratic manner typical of Anatolian cult imagery. In her extended right hand she holds a Nike bearing a wreath, while her left hand holds a palm branch. The magistrate's name and secondary legend appear in the right field. The overall composition follows the standard iconographic convention for standing cult effigies on Pergamene civic bronze coinage of the Hadrianic period. |
