| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, rendered in three-quarter view seen from the rear, a presentation typical of provincial coinage of the Severan period. The emperor's paludamentum is visible over the cuirass. A Greek legend encircles the bust in the outer field, identifying the ruler by his imperial titulature. |

| Reverse description | Zeus enthroned to the left, his figure rendered in the classical Pheidian tradition as commonly reproduced on Phrygian provincial bronzes. The deity extends his right hand holding a patera in an act of libation, while his left hand grasps a long upright sceptre. The ethnic legend of the issuing city runs in the field to the left of the enthroned figure. |
