| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Septimius Severus facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic three-quarter view. The portrait displays the emperor's distinctive full beard and laureate wreath, rendered in the provincial Greek artistic style. The legend encircles the bust within the field. |

| Reverse description | A tetrastyle or distyle temple facade, here shown with two columns, framing the standing figure of Homonoia (Concordia), depicted facing with head turned to the left. The deity wears a kalathos (modius) upon her head and holds a cornucopia in one arm, while extending a patera over a lighted altar at her side. The reverse type reflects the civic and religious iconography typical of Carian provincial coinage. The ethnic legend of the Halicarnassians runs around the design. |
