| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Mamaea, diademed, facing right, with elaborately coiffed hair. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage of the Severan period. The Greek legend ΙΟΥΛΙΑ ΜΑΜΑΙΑ is disposed around the bust within the coin's field. The portrait shows the empress with a crescent-shaped diadem and layered drapery over the shoulder. |

| Reverse description | A tall, lighted torch depicted upright in the centre of the field, with flames visible at the apex, rendered in the local provincial style. The torch is flanked by the ethnic legend ΤΙΑΝΩΝ disposed around the device, identifying the civic mint of Tium in Bithynia. The reverse type alludes to religious or civic symbolism associated with the city. The overall style is consistent with Bithynian provincial bronze coinage of the Severan period. |
