| Obverse description | Jugate busts of Septimius Severus and Julia Domna conjoined, facing right, set upon a crescent; Severus depicted radiate, draped, and cuirassed, while Domna appears draped. The legend encircles the busts in Greek script, naming both rulers in the accusative case as befitting a provincial honorific issue. |

| Reverse description | The river-god Hieromykès reclines to left in the typical Hellenistic personification style, holding a reed in his right hand with a fish swimming upward beside his left arm, symbolising the local river. To the left, the city goddess Tyche is depicted seated facing with head turned right, holding a cornucopia in her right hand and what appears to be a reed or ear of grain in her left. The date ΕΤ ΡΒ (year 102 of the local Adraean era, corresponding to 207–208 CE) appears in the exergue. |
