| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed bust of Antoninus Pius, with aegis, facing right, seen from the front. The emperor's effigy is rendered in the typical provincial style of the Antonine period, with the aegis draped across the chest indicating imperial and divine authority. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters. |

| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤΟ ΚΑΙϹ ΑΝΤΩΝΕΙΝΟϹ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Antoninus) |
| Reverse description | Dionysus and Apollo are depicted seated in a chariot drawn to the right by a pantheress and a goat, composing a rare syncretic mythological scene. Dionysus holds a long transverse thyrsus, while Apollo plays a lyre. A winged Eros rides upon the goat's back, playing a double flute (aulos). The reverse legend in two words identifies the issuing civic authority and appears in the field. The composition reflects the sophisticated Hellenistic artistic traditions maintained in Phrygian civic coinage. |
