| Obverse description | Youthful laureate and draped bust of the Demos of Eucarpia facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style with carefully detailed drapery visible at the truncation. The bust is encircled by a beaded border, with the civic legend disposed around the periphery of the field. The portrait conveys a youthful, idealized civic personification characteristic of Phrygian civic bronze coinage of the Antonine period. |

| Reverse description | Artemis stands facing at centre, head turned to the right, her right hand raised to draw an arrow from the quiver at her shoulder while her left hand holds a bow; to the left, a stag stands facing left with head turned right toward the goddess; to the right, a small cult statue of Cybele (?) stands facing, wearing a kalathos. The figures are arranged in a triad composition typical of Phrygian civic bronzes, with the magistrate's dedicatory inscription occupying the reverse field around the devices. |
