| Obverse description | Draped bust of Boule personified, laureate, facing right and seen from the front, rendered in the provincial Greek style characteristic of the Lydian mint of Tralles. The effigy displays a dignified, slightly idealized portrait with drapery visible at the shoulder. The encircling legend frames the bust within the field. |

| Reverse description | Standing female figure, full-length, turned to the left, leaning with her right arm upon a tall column; in her extended left hand she holds a patera in the act of libation. To the left in the field, a small figure of Eros is depicted, adding a characteristic decorative element common in provincial Lydian coinage of the mid-third century. The reverse legend surrounds the composition, naming the grammateus (civic magistrate) responsible for the issue. |
