| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Otacilia Severa facing right, rendered in the typical provincial style of Phrygia. The empress wears a stephane-style diadem and a garment draped over the left shoulder. The circular Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan, identifying the subject by her full imperial titulature. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with hand-hammered provincial coinage of the mid-third century AD. |

| Reverse description | The emperor Philip I stands facing left in military attire, holding a patera in his extended right hand and a long spear or sceptre in his left. The figure is rendered in the conventional provincial Roman style, with the patera gesture referencing imperial piety and sacral authority. The multi-line Greek legend encircles the field, naming the local magistrate Aurelius Anteros, son of Zotikos, as first archon of the city of Appia. The reverse is characteristic of Phrygian civic bronze coinage struck under Philip I. |
