| Obverse description | Draped bust of Otacilia Severa facing right, wearing a stephane diadem, her elaborately waved hair arranged in the typical Severan court fashion, with a crescent symbol visible at the shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Lydian civic coinage, with bold, somewhat stylized features. The encircling Greek legend names the empress with her full imperial titulature, running around the periphery of the flan within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Apollo standing facing right, depicted in full figure and clad in a long chiton, holding a plectrum in his right hand and a lyre in his left, emblematic of his role as god of music and the arts. The figure is rendered in the provincial Lydian style, with the deity's attributes clearly delineated despite the wear typical of circulated bronzes. The lengthy magistrate legend encircles the type within a beaded border, identifying the issuing archon and the civic community of the Macedonian Blaundeans. |
