| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Demos personified facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Lydian civic coinage of the mid-3rd century AD. The bust displays a laurel wreath crowning the head and drapery over the left shoulder. The circular Greek legend ΙΕΡΟϹ ΔΗΜΟϹ (Sacred People) runs around the periphery of the field. The coin exhibits a green and reddish-brown patina consistent with its age and bronze composition. |

| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of civic Fortune, depicted standing to the left in full figure, wearing a turreted crown (kalathos) and long robes. She holds a ship's rudder downward in her right hand, symbolising guidance and destiny, and a cornucopia (horn of plenty) in her left arm, emblematic of prosperity. The Greek legend ΤΥΧΗ ΤΡΑΛΛΙΑΝΩΝ (Fortune of the Trallians) is disposed around the figure in the field. The surface carries a heavily worn, mottled green and reddish patina. |
