| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, the cuirass decorated with relief ornament visible at the truncation. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style typical of Phrygian civic coinage of the Severan era. The circumferential Greek legend runs around the bust within a dotted border. The portrait displays the youthful features characteristic of Elagabalus's numismatic iconography. |

| Reverse description | Apollo standing facing, his head turned to the left, raising his right hand to his head in a contemplative gesture while his left arm rests upon a lyre set atop a tall pillar or column to his right. A tripod is placed to the left of the figure, serving as a cult attribute of the god. The composition reflects a canonical type for Apollo as patron deity, rendered in the local Phrygian civic style. The reverse legend is distributed in two lines or around the field, naming the issuing communities. |
