| Obverse description | Draped bust of Otacilia Severa facing right, her hair elaborately waved and drawn back, adorned with a diadem. The imperial effigy is rendered in the conventional provincial style of the mid-third century AD. A circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait in the field, naming the empress with her full titulature. The flan is irregular and the relief somewhat flat, consistent with Phrygian provincial mint output of the Philippan period. |

| Reverse description | Homonoia type depicting two standing female figures facing one another: Nike advancing to the right, holding a palm branch, confronting the Tyche of Smyrna standing to the left, who holds a rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left. The composition symbolises the civic concord between Hierapolis and Smyrna, both cities holding the neocorate title. The Greek legend surrounds the reverse field, referencing the homonoia alliance between the two cities. |
