| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic Severan three-quarter view. The portrait displays the youthful features associated with Caracalla's earlier co-reign period. The Greek imperial titulature legend encircles the bust in the field. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show heavy wear consistent with provincial bronze coinage. |

The god holds a purse in his right hand and a caduceus in his left hand; at his feet a ram is shown, serving as an attribute of Hermes in his role as protector of commerce and flocks. The civic legend of Creteia-Flaviopolis is distributed in the field around the figure. |
