| Obverse description | Draped bust of Empress Tranquillina facing right, wearing a diadem, rendered in the provincial style typical of Asia Minor civic coinage of the mid-third century AD. The effigy is set within a circular field with the imperial titulature legend surrounding the portrait. The drapery is indicated across the shoulder, and the diadem is clearly visible at the crown of the head. |

| Reverse description | Io, veiled and draped, standing left before a hut or rustic structure, facing Zeus who stands to the left with his right hand extended toward her in a gesture of greeting or protection. The scene references the mythological union of Zeus and Io and reflects the strong local mythological traditions celebrated on civic bronzes of Tralles. The figures are rendered in the provincial Greek style, with the magistrate's inscription filling the field around the composition. |
