| Obverse description | Draped bust of Lucilla facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed and bound, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Phrygian civic coinage of the Antonine period. The effigy is depicted with a modest diadem arrangement, the drapery visible at the truncation of the neck and shoulder. The encircling Greek legend ΛΟΥΚΙΛΛΑ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗ frames the portrait in the outer field. The die work, though somewhat worn, conveys the characteristic idealized portraiture associated with Antonine imperial women on eastern provincial bronzes. |

| Reverse description | Youthful Dionysus standing to the left in full figure, clad in long robes, extending a patera in his right hand and holding a tall thyrsus — the ivy-wreathed staff emblematic of his cult — in his left. The god is depicted in a static, frontal-facing pose characteristic of provincial Phrygian civic issues, reflecting the strong local veneration of Dionysus at Synnada. The encircling Greek legend naming the civic priest Iulius Lykinos and the ethnic of the Synnadeans runs around the reverse field. The overall composition is consistent with Antonine-period civic bronze coinage from the conventus of Synnada in Phrygia. |
