| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Otacilia Severa facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of the Thyatiran mint. The empress is depicted with an elaborately dressed coiffure secured by a diadem, her drapery indicated across the shoulder and chest. A dotted border frames the entire design. The Greek imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery of the field. |

| Reverse description | Apollo standing to the right, his left foot resting upon a bucranium, holding a serpent grasped with both hands and leaning against a column. The deity is rendered in the classical provincial manner typical of Lydian civic coinage of the mid-third century AD. The composition emphasises Apollo's role as a healing divinity, the serpent serving as a symbol of medicine and prophecy. The magistrate's name and civic ethnic appear in the surrounding Greek legend, divided across the field. A dotted border frames the reverse design. |
