| Obverse description | Helmeted and draped bust of the goddess Roma facing right, rendered in provincial style typical of Aeolian civic coinage. The corinthian helmet is clearly articulated with a prominent crest, and the drapery is visible across the truncation of the bust. The circular legend ΘΕΑ ΡΩΜΗ ('Thea Romē', meaning 'Divine Roma') runs around the periphery of the field. The portrait exhibits the characteristic workmanship of a local Aeolian die-cutter of the Antonine period, with a broad, slightly flat relief. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Homonoia (Concordia) depicted in full length, facing left, wearing a kalathos (basket-crown) upon her head, symbolising divine abundance. In her right hand she holds a patera extended over a lighted altar, performing a libation, while her left arm supports a cornucopia. The reverse legend, distributed around the field, records the name and title of the local magistrate responsible for the issue. |
