| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of the emperor Severus Alexander facing right, viewed from the rear, rendered in the provincial Greek style. The obverse legend encircles the effigy, identifying the emperor by his full titulature in Greek characters. The portrait displays characteristic provincial workmanship of the Lydian mint, with careful attention to the laurel wreath and military cuirass details. |

| Reverse description | Apollo nude, standing right, his left foot raised and resting upon a bucranium, holding a serpent grasped with both hands while leaning against a column. The composition reflects Apollo's association with healing and oracular tradition, consistent with the religious iconography favoured at Thyatira. The reverse legend is distributed around the field, naming the local magistrate responsible for the issue and the civic ethnic of the Thyatirans. |
