| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Philip I facing right, viewed from the rear, rendered in the provincial Greek style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage. The radiate crown is clearly articulated with pointed rays, and the cuirass is visible at the truncation. The Greek legend encircles the bust in the field, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. |

| Reverse description | Full-length standing figure of Sarapis advancing to the left, wearing a modius (kalathos) on his head and dressed in a long himation. The deity extends his right hand forward, holding what appears to be a taenia or fillet, while his left hand bears a long transverse sceptre resting over the shoulder. The civic ethnic legend ΚΙΑΝΩΝ is distributed around the figure in the field, affirming the civic authority of Cius in issuing this bronze coinage. |
