| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, displaying the elaborate musculature of the cuirass and folds of the paludamentum. The portrait is executed in the characteristic provincial style of the Severan period, with tightly curled hair beneath the laurel wreath. The Greek imperial titulature legend runs around the obverse field within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Hera standing right, holding a pomegranate (?) in her extended right hand and a long sceptre in her left, faces Zeus standing left; Zeus holds an anchor in his right hand and a sceptre in his left, with an eagle perched at his feet to the left. The composition presents the divine pair in a confronted arrangement typical of Galatian provincial coinage, with the anchor serving as an attribute referencing the city's civic imagery. The reverse legend naming the local archon is disposed around the field within a beaded border. |
