| Obverse description | Bare, youthful head of Demos facing right, personifying the civic community of Aezani, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Asia Minor bronze coinage of the mid-third century AD. The portrait is set within a circular field bordered by a continuous Greek legend. The surface shows heavy patination consistent with extended burial, obscuring some fine detail of the relief. |

| Reverse description | Dionysus, god of wine, depicted standing in contrapposto facing left, holding a long thyrsus in his raised left hand and tilting a cantharus with his right hand to pour libation over a panther crouching at his feet to the right. The composition is characteristic of Dionysiac iconography common on civic bronzes of Asia Minor, with the legend distributed around the periphery of the field naming the presiding magistrate. |
