| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Domna facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed in the characteristic waved and bun style associated with her portraiture, set within a circular border. The effigy is rendered in typical provincial workshop style, with the drapery folds visible at the truncation of the bust. The surrounding Greek legend reads ΙΟΥΛΙΑ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗ, identifying her as Julia Augusta, disposed around the periphery of the field. |

| Reverse description | Two togate male figures, identified as Caracalla and Geta, stand facing one another in a dextrarum iunctio, clasping right hands in a gesture of fraternal concord. Between them, an agonistic crown is depicted resting upon a prize table, symbolising the Severan Philadelphian games celebrated at Nicaea. The encircling Greek legend ϹΕΟΥΗΡΕΙΑ ΦΙΛΑΔΕΛΦΕΙΑ ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ occupies the outer field, commemorating these games in honour of the Severan dynasty as instituted by the city of the Nicaeans. |
