| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Geta as Caesar facing right, with curly hair rendered in fine detail, the paludamentum fastened at the shoulder and the cuirass visible at the truncation. The effigy is portrayed in three-quarter view from the rear, conveying youthful features consistent with his tenure as Caesar. A Greek legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, identifying the prince by name and title. |

| Reverse description | Two standing female figures facing left in a symmetrical composition: Tyche and Cybele, each holding a patera and a tympanum. The figure on the left turns her head to the right, creating a subtle dynamic contrast within the otherwise frontal arrangement. The figures are rendered in provincial Greek style with flowing drapery. The Greek magistrate legend fills the field around the figures, citing the strategos responsible for the issue and the civic ethnikon of the Phocaeans. |
