| Obverse description | Diademed head of Demos facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style characteristic of Phrygian civic coinage of the mid-third century AD. The diadem is depicted as a simple band across the brow. The Greek legend ΙΕΡΟϹ ΔΗΜΟϹ (Sacred People) is distributed around the periphery of the flan, partially visible despite surface wear. The flan is notably irregular and the strike somewhat off-centre, consistent with hand-hammered provincial bronze production. |

| Reverse description | Heracles standing to the right in a contrapposto posture, his left arm resting upon his club, over which the Nemean lion skin is draped; a bow may also be present near the figure. The type follows the standard Heraclean iconography common in Phrygian civic bronze coinage under the Roman Empire. The encircling legend ΑΚΜΟΝΕΩΝ identifies the issuing city. The flan is irregular and the surfaces heavily worn, with green-brown patination consistent with long burial. |
