| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, rendered from a three-quarter rear perspective, a presentation characteristic of provincial Asian coinage of the Severan period. The emperor's paludamentum is visible over the cuirass, and the laurel wreath is rendered with fine individual leaves. The Greek imperial titulature encircles the effigy within a dotted border, the legend disposed around the full circumference of the flan. |

| Reverse description | A standing draped female figure, tentatively identified as Demeter, occupies the centre of the field in a frontal pose with head turned to the left. She extends her right hand forward holding a patera, and her left hand grasps a tall vertical sceptre. The figure is rendered in the conventional provincial style of Asia Minor, robed in a long chiton and himation. The Greek legend of the strategos and the civic ethnic of the Diosieritans runs around the periphery within a dotted border. |
