| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Caracalla facing right, portrayed from the rear in the characteristic three-quarter back view typical of Severan provincial coinage. The effigy displays the emperor's military paraphernalia, with the cuirass rendered in detail. The Greek imperial legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. |

| Reverse description | Tyche, the city goddess of Eumenea, standing left in full figure, draped in a long chiton and himation. She holds a rudder in her right hand, symbolising the guidance of fortune, and a cornucopia in her left arm, representing abundance. The figure is rendered in the conventional provincial style, set within a dotted border. The surrounding Greek legend records the name of the presiding magistrate and the civic ethnic of the issuing city. |
