| Obverse description | Draped bust of Faustina II facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style characteristic of Lydian civic coinage. The empress is depicted with an elaborately coiffed hairstyle, swept back in waves and gathered at the nape, consistent with her portraiture during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. The circular Greek legend ΦΑΥϹΤΕΙΝΑ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗ surrounds the bust within the field. |

| Reverse description | Cybele, the Phrygian mother goddess, enthroned and facing left, wearing a kalathos (turreted crown) and draped garments. She holds a patera in her extended right hand and rests her left arm upon a tympanum. The goddess is flanked by two lions seated one on either side of her throne, an iconographic arrangement closely associated with her cult in Lydia and Phrygia. The reverse legend naming the local magistrate and civic ethnikon runs in the field and exergue. |
