| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Phrygian civic coinage. The portrait displays a youthful bearded effigy with a bold laurel wreath clearly visible atop the head. The surrounding Greek legend runs clockwise within a beaded border. The execution reflects the local die-cutting tradition of the Conventus of Synnada during the Severan period. |

| Reverse description | Frontal view of a hexastyle temple with six fluted columns raised on a stepped podium of three or more steps, surmounted by a decorative pediment with a wavy cornice and acroteria. The architectural rendering is rendered in the schematic provincial style characteristic of Asia Minor civic bronzes, with column shafts indicated by hatched lines. The Greek civic legend ΑΜΟΡΙΑΝΩΝ is distributed around the temple type within a beaded border, with partial lettering visible above and below the temple. |
