| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Philip I facing right, portrayed in three-quarter rear view, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and the musculature of the cuirass rendered in relief. The emperor's short beard and strong facial features are characteristic of his mid-third-century portraiture. The Greek imperial legend encircles the bust within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The xoanon-style cult statue of Samian Hera depicted standing facing, rendered in the archaic manner characteristic of her celebrated sanctuary at Heraion on Samos. The goddess is shown in a stiff, frontal pose wearing a polos or stephane headdress, her arms extended slightly from her draped body, consistent with the well-known cult image associated with the Heraion. The figure stands on a low base or plinth, and the reverse field is flanked by the ethnic legend, all within a beaded border. |
