| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Domna facing right, her hair elaborately waved and coiled at the nape in the characteristic Severan style. The empress is portrayed with drapery visible at the truncation of the shoulder. The Greek legend encircles the bust within the field, identifying her as Augusta. The die work reflects the provincial workshop tradition of the Ionian conventus. |

| Reverse description | Amazon standing left in short chiton, her weight resting on a spear held in her raised left hand. In her extended right hand she holds a patera, positioned above a dog biting a dolphin at her feet — a device closely associated with the civic iconography of Phocaea. The composition is rendered in the provincial Hellenistic style typical of Ionian bronze coinage of the Severan period. The magistrate's name and ethnic appear in the field and legend surrounding the type. |
