| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Caracalla facing right, depicted from the rear, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and segmented cuirass rendered in detail. The effigy is presented in the characteristic provincial style of Phrygian civic coinage, with bold and slightly stylized facial features. The Greek imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery of the obverse field. |

| Reverse description | Tyche Pantheia, a syncretic civic goddess, stands facing left in full figure, depicted with wings extending from her shoulders, symbolizing her composite divine nature. She holds a rudder terminating in a wheel in her right hand, an attribute of Fortuna and civic guidance, and a cornucopia in her left, signifying abundance. The figure is rendered in the typical provincial workshop style of early third-century Phrygia, with flowing drapery. The reverse legend identifying the city and its neokorate status runs around the periphery. |
