| Obverse description | Laureate, draped bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Phrygian civic coinage. The emperor's effigy displays a wreath of laurel leaves across the brow, with drapery visible at the truncation of the shoulder. A circular beaded border frames the design, and the Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of helmeted Lakedaimon (personification of Sparta) depicted full-face, head turned to the right, clad in military cuirass. In the right hand the figure holds a long spear, while the left hand bears the Palladium, the iconic armed statuette of Athena. The composition reflects the Doric ethnic pride of the Synnadan community, and the reverse legend identifying the issuing city is inscribed in the field around the figure. |
