| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The portrait displays the youthful features characteristic of Caracalla's early co-reign period. A Latin legend encircles the bust along the periphery of the flan. The die work reflects the provincial style typical of the Troad region under the Severan dynasty. |

| Reverse description | A horse grazes to the right beneath a tree situated to the left, its head lowered toward the ground in a naturalistic pose. Behind the horse stands a herdsman, identified as Ordes, facing right and holding a pedum (shepherd's crook) in his hand. This pastoral scene is a well-known type associated with the Roman colony of Alexandria Troas, referencing the legendary horse-herding traditions of the Troad region. The colonial legend is distributed across the reverse field. |
