The imperial effigy is depicted in the conventional provincial style, with bold relief despite moderate surface wear.

| Reverse description | The goddess Leto advances to the left, her head turned back to the left, rendered in long draped robes with fluid folds visible despite wear. She carries her divine twin children, Artemis and Apollo, one in each arm, alluding to the mythological tradition of their birth at Magnesia. The civic legend of the Magnesians, naming the presiding magistrate Pollianus, is distributed around the periphery of the field in Greek characters. |
