| Obverse description | Draped and diademed bust of Otacilia Severa facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Phrygian civic coinage of the mid-third century AD. The effigy displays the empress's characteristic coiffure with hair elaborately arranged and drawn back. A circular border frames the design, with the Greek legend distributed around the periphery of the field. |

| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, stands facing left in full figure, rendered in the conventional Hellenistic tradition of provincial bronze coinage. In her extended right hand she holds a ship's rudder symbolising guidance and destiny, while in the same hand or arm she carries ears of corn, emblematic of agricultural prosperity; in her left hand she bears a cornucopia overflowing with abundance. The encircling Greek legend records the name of the archon Philikos and the ethnic of the city of Eumenea, with the civic era date ΑΧ in the lower field. |
