| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Septimius Severus facing right, depicted from the rear, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and cuirass detailing rendered in the provincial style. The imperial effigy occupies the majority of the flan, with the Greek legend disposed around the periphery. The portrait presents the characteristic bearded physiognomy of Severus, consistent with provincial bronze coinage of Caria from the Severan period. |

| Reverse description | Tetrastyle temple with a triangular pediment surmounting four columns on a stepped podium, enclosing a frontal cult statue of Cybele standing facing, flanked by two lions seated at her sides. The architectural rendering is typical of the Asiatic provincial coinage tradition, with the columns clearly delineated and the pediment decorated with acroteria. The legend of the city of Attuda and the Asiarch magistrate appears in the exergue and surrounding field. |
