| Obverse description | Draped bust of Otacilia Severa facing right, wearing a diadem, rendered in the provincial portrait style typical of Phrygian civic coinage of the mid-third century AD. The imperial effigy is surrounded by a Greek legend naming the empress. The flan shows irregular edges characteristic of provincial hammered bronze issues, and the coin surface carries an extensive patina consistent with its antiquity. |

| Reverse description | Two laurel wreaths displayed side by side in the central field, each enclosing a single letter — Π (Pi) on the left and Ε (Epsilon) on the right — denoting respectively the Pythian games at Hierapolis and the Ephesian games at Ephesus. A circular Greek legend surrounds the entire design, commemorating the homonoia (concord) between the cities of Hierapolis and Ephesus and their shared neocorate status. This homonoia type is characteristic of civic alliance coinage struck in Asia Minor during the Severan and Philippan periods. |
