| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Otacilia Severa facing right, with a crescent symbol positioned at the shoulders. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Mysian civic coinage of the mid-third century AD. The circular legend surrounds the portrait in Greek characters. The obverse surface shows heavy wear and patination, with details of the drapery partially obscured by corrosion consistent with extended circulation and burial. |

| Additional information |
Hadrianotherae was a minor Mysian city founded by Hadrian following a celebrated bear hunt in the region — the name translates roughly as "Hadrian's hunt." The city minted sporadically under select emperors, and Philip I's reign represents one of its final documented civic issues before provincial bronze coinage across Asia Minor collapsed under Gallienus.
