| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Caracalla facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, as is characteristic of later Severan provincial coinage. The emperor's paludamentum is visible over the cuirass, conveying imperial military authority. The surrounding legend names the emperor in Greek characters. The portrait exhibits the broad-shouldered, assertive style typical of Caracalla's civic issues from Asia Minor. |

| Reverse description | Artemis standing facing with head turned to the left, her right hand extending a branch and her left hand raised to the quiver at her shoulder. The goddess is depicted in her role as divine protectress of Tralles, consistent with the city's numismatic iconographic tradition. The reverse legend encircling the field identifies the issuing city and its neocorate status. The style reflects the provincial die-cutting workshops of the Lydian conventus under the Severan dynasty. |
