| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Macrinus facing right, depicted three-quarter from the front, with paludamentum visible over the cuirass. The imperial effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of the Cibyra mint. The obverse legend encircles the bust, naming the emperor with his full titulature in Greek characters. |

| Reverse description | Asclepius, the god of medicine, stands facing with head turned to the left, rendered in a static frontal pose typical of provincial Greek coinage. He is depicted in long robes, leaning upon his serpent-entwined staff (the kerykeion of Asclepius), which rises vertically beside him. The encircling ethnic legend identifies the issuing city of Cibyra. The style is consistent with the provincial workshops of Lycia-Pamphylia during the Severan period. |
