| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of a youthful male deity facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Pisidian civic coinage of the mid-third century AD. The bust is set within a dotted border, with the circular Greek legend TЄPMHC CЄΩΝ distributed around the periphery. To the right of the bust, a caduceus is prominently depicted in the field, identifying the deity as Hermes, the divine patron of Termessus Major. The overall style reflects the vigorous but somewhat crude engraving typical of later Pisidian provincial issues. |

| Reverse description | A standing male figure, identified as Hermes, depicted facing left in full length within a dotted border. The deity holds a caduceus in his left hand and appears draped, rendered in a bold but provincially stylized manner. The circular Greek legend TΩN MЄISONΩN runs around the periphery, asserting the city's epithet 'Major'. The composition is set against a plain field, enclosed by a beaded border, consistent with the civic bronze coinage of Termessus Major during the reign of Gallienus. |
