| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙϹΑΡ Λ ΑΥΡ ΟΥΗΡΟϹ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Lucius Aurelius Verus) |
| Reverse description | Hexastyle temple with a rounded pediment set on a stepped podium, enclosing a cult statue of turreted Tyche-Astarte standing left upon a low base, holding a human bust in her extended hand and a long sceptre, with one foot resting upon a reclining, swimming river-god rendered in the lower field. The architectural rendering reflects the Greco-Roman religious syncretism prevalent in the Decapolis cities of Arabia, with columns clearly articulated and the pediment forming a prominent semicircular arch. The composition conveys the civic pride and sacred status of Capitolias as expressed through its local coinage. |
