| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Julia Mamaea, mother of Severus Alexander, facing right, with hair elaborately coiffed in waves and drawn up at the crown with a diadem. The portrait is rendered in the characteristic Severan court style, with a crescent-shaped brooch or ornament visible at the shoulder. The Greek legend encircles the effigy in the field. |

| Reverse description | Front facade of a hexastyle or octastyle temple depicted in elevation, with eight columns surmounted by a pediment bearing a shield at its center. An eagle with spread wings perches atop the apex of the pediment, a common neocorate symbol in Asian provincial coinage. The architectural rendering reflects Cyzicus's status as a neocorate city honored with an imperial cult temple. The Greek legend is distributed in the field around the temple. |
