| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Septimius Severus facing right, with characteristic curled beard and hair rendered in the dynastic Severan style. The effigy is depicted with a draped shoulder visible at the bust truncation. A Greek imperial legend surrounds the portrait, reading from upper left and continuing around the periphery of the field. |

| Reverse description | Hygieia, goddess of health, standing facing right in long draped chiton and himation, holding a large serpent in her left arm and extending a patera in her right hand from which the serpent feeds. The composition is well-centred within the field, with the dedicatory Greek legend distributed around the periphery in a manner typical of civic bronze coinage of the Conventus of Apamea. The type reflects the religious and civic benefaction of a local magistrate. |
