| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, rendered from a three-quarter rear perspective, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and the muscled cuirass articulated below. The imperial effigy occupies the central field, with the laureate wreath clearly defined atop the head. The surrounding Greek legend is disposed around the periphery of the flan, partially visible due to the irregular striking and patination characteristic of provincial Carian bronzes. |

| Reverse description | Zeus Osogoa standing draped to left, extending his right hand to present a patera and holding a long sceptre upright in his left hand. A stag stands at his feet to the left, an iconographic attribute closely associated with the local Carian cult of Zeus at Mylasa. The composition is typical of the civic bronze coinage of Mylasa, with the deity rendered in a classicizing style within an open field, and the ethnic legend disposed around the periphery. |
