| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Maximus Caesar facing right, depicted seen from the rear in three-quarter view. The youthful imperial effigy displays paludamentum folds over the left shoulder and the segmented plates of the cuirass. A circular Greek legend surrounds the bust within a beaded border, identifying the prince by his full titulature. |

| Reverse description | Apollo nude standing facing left, his weight resting elegantly on one leg in a Classical contrapposto pose. In his extended right hand he holds a laurel branch, while his left arm rests upon a tall tripod around the base of which a serpent is coiled. The composition evokes the Apolline cult of Magnesia ad Maeandrum, with the magistrate's legend arranged around the field in Greek characters. |
