| Obverse description | Youthful bare head of Demos, the personification of the people of Aezani, facing right, rendered in the conventional Hellenistic civic portrait style. The circular Greek legend ΔΗΜΟϹ ΑΙΖΑΝΕΙΤΩΝ surrounds the bust in the field. The flan shows characteristic irregular edges typical of provincially struck bronze coinage of the mid-third century AD. |

| Reverse description | Zeus of Aezani depicted standing left in full figure, clad in himation draped about the lower body, extending his right hand forward holding an eagle and grasping a tall sceptre in his left hand. The type reflects the celebrated cult image of Zeus housed in the great temple at Aezani. The circular Greek magistrate legend fills the field around the deity, referencing the local archineokoros Iulius Ulpius Severinus under whose authority the coin was struck. |
