| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Philip I (Philip the Arab) facing right, rendered in three-quarter rear view, with the radiate crown clearly visible above the bearded portrait. The emperor's paludamentum and cuirass are indicated at the truncation. The encircling Latin legend runs along the outer border of the flan. The portrait style is consistent with provincial bronze coinage of the mid-third century, exhibiting a bold, slightly crude execution typical of the Pisidian Antioch mint. |

| Reverse description | Central military vexillum with an eagle displayed at its apex, flanked on each side by a legionary standard surmounted by an eagle, the three devices arranged symmetrically in the field. The standards rest on a low base or ground line, with the abbreviated colonial legend of Antiochia ad Pisidiam distributed around the periphery. The letters S R appear in the lower exergual area, serving as a colonial or senatorial reference mark. The overall composition emphasizes the Roman military character of the Pisidian colony, a common reverse type for Antioch under Philip I. |
