| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Maximinus I (Thrax) facing right, presented in three-quarter frontal view, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The effigy displays characteristic military attire with detailed engraving of the cuirass. The encircling Greek legend runs along the outer periphery of the flan, reading clockwise around the portrait. The coin exhibits a dark green-brown patina consistent with provincial bronze coinage of the Severan era. |

| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of fortune and civic prosperity, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left, clad in a long chiton and wearing a kalathos (modius) upon her head. She holds a rudder resting on a globe in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, symbolising guidance and abundance. The reverse legend is inscribed in the field around the figure, identifying the issuing city. The style and iconography are consistent with provincial bronze coinage struck under the authority of the city of Acmonia in Phrygia. |
