| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Geta as Caesar facing right, viewed from the rear, with short curly hair rendered in fine detail. The drapery folds over the left shoulder are visible beneath the cuirass, with paludamentum fastened at the shoulder. The surrounding Greek legend is partially visible along the coin's periphery, though heavily worn on this example. The portrait exhibits the youthful physiognomy characteristic of Geta's early Caesarean coinage from the Phrygian mint at Docimeum. |

| Reverse description | Apollo standing facing with head turned to the right, depicted in a static, hieratic pose typical of provincial Phrygian coinage. The god holds an arrow in his extended right hand and rests a bow on the ground with his left; a raven, sacred bird of Apollo, perches on his left forearm. Behind the figure stands a tripod, the god's emblematic cult object, upon which rests an indeterminate object. The reverse legend identifying the issuing city encircles the field. |
