| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Caracalla facing right, rendered from a three-quarter rear perspective, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and the cuirass modelled in relief. The imperial effigy occupies the central field, with the Greek legend disposed around the periphery. The portrait displays the characteristic compact features associated with Caracalla's numismatic imagery from the provincial bronze coinage of Asia Minor. |

| Reverse description | Athena depicted standing, facing right, helmeted and attired in a long chiton and aegis, holding an upright spear in her right hand and a small figure of Nike in her outstretched left hand; a round shield rests at her side to the left. The goddess is rendered in the classical Hellenistic tradition associated with the civic coinage of Ilium, underscoring the city's mythological connection to Troy and its patroness deity. The ethnic legend ΙΛΙΕΩΝ is inscribed in the field to the right. |
