| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Nero facing right, wearing an aegis at the shoulder, rendered in the provincial Greek style. The portrait displays the characteristic youthful features of Nero's early reign, with curling hair beneath the laurel wreath. The Greek legend is disposed around the bust in the field. The overall style is consistent with Cilician provincial bronze coinage of the Julio-Claudian period. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Tyche, the city goddess of Mallus, depicted facing left and holding a cornucopia in her left arm, symbolising the city's prosperity. In the lower portion of the field, two reclining river gods are depicted, one to the left and one to the right, likely representing the rivers bounding the territory of Mallus. The magistrates' names appear in the surrounding legend, attesting to the local civic administration responsible for the coin's issue. |
