| Obverse description | Draped and diademed bust of Otacilia Severa facing right, the hair arranged in waves and drawn back, with a stephane visible above. The effigy is rendered in the typical provincial style of the mid-third century AD. The circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait within the fields. The flan shows characteristic irregular edges common to provincial bronze issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | The river god Maeandros depicted in recumbent pose facing left, his semi-nude figure reclining upon the ground with his weight supported on his left arm. He holds a reed in his right hand and a cornucopia in his left, with a water urn beside him from which a stream flows, and a fish visible nearby — standard iconographic attributes associating the deity with the celebrated Maeander River of Lydia. The ethnic legend of Tripolis encircles the scene and names the deity below. |
