| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, presented in three-quarter frontal view, with elaborate muscled cuirass visible at the truncation. The emperor's characteristic youthful features are rendered with thick curling hair beneath the laurel wreath. The circumferential legend runs around the bust within a beaded border, identifying the ruler by his full imperial titulature. |

| Reverse description | Heracles depicted advancing to the left, his right foot raised and planted upon a rock as he prepares to deliver a blow with his raised club against the Lernaean Hydra, which writhes on the ground to the left. The hero's muscular form is rendered in the dynamic style typical of provincial bronze coinage of Asia Minor. The city ethnic legend is distributed in the field, enclosed within a beaded border. |
