Obverse description	Draped bust of Julia Domna facing right, her hair elaborately waved and coiled at the nape in the characteristic Severan style. The effigy is rendered in typical provincial workshop manner, with the drapery indicated by diagonal folds across the shoulder. The Greek legend ΙΟΥΛΙΑ ΑΥΓΟΥϹΤΑ runs around the periphery, framed by a dotted border.

Reverse description	Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, stands facing left in long chiton and himation, her head turreted. She holds a ship's rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left arm, emblems of prosperity and the city's destiny. The ethnic legend ΑΜΟΡΙΑΝΩΝ is disposed around the field, identifying the issuing community of Amorium. The reverse is enclosed within a plain border, the entire composition typical of Phrygian provincial bronze coinage of the Severan period.
