| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Julia Mamaea facing right, depicted with elaborate coiffure typical of Severan imperial portraiture. The effigy is rendered in moderate relief with drapery visible at the truncation. The Greek legend encircles the bust within the field, reading ΙΟΥΛΙΑ ΜΑΜΕΑ ϹΕΒΑϹϹΤΗ, identifying the empress with her imperial title Augusta. |

| Reverse description | A figure, tentatively identified as Pan, seated to the right and milking a goat that stands to the right with head turned back, in a pastoral scene characteristic of Mysian provincial coinage. The composition is set on a ground line, with the figures rendered in moderate relief. The Greek neocorate legend is distributed around the field, with ΝΕΟΚΟΡΩΝ partially visible in the lower exergual area, asserting Cyzicus's prestigious status as a temple-warden city. |
