The effigy is rendered in a naturalistic provincial style typical of Asia Minor civic coinage. The Greek imperial legend is disposed around the bust in the field, reading from upper left to right. A dotted border frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | Two standing female figures face one another in the center of the field, rendered in full length in the provincial Greek style. The figure at left, representing the Tyche of Hierapolis, and the figure at right, representing the Tyche of Laodicea, clasp hands in a dextrarum iunctio gesture symbolizing the alliance between the two cities. Each figure is draped in a long chiton and himation, and the composition is framed by a dotted border. The civic legend of both communities is inscribed around the periphery of the field. |
