| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, depicted from the rear in three-quarter perspective, with elaborate curled hair and paludamentum draped over the left shoulder. The imperial effigy is rendered in high relief with fine detail visible in the armor folds and drapery. A Greek legend encircles the bust along the outer border, framed by a beaded inner circle. The portrait reflects the youthful features characteristic of Caracalla's early co-reign imagery under Septimius Severus. |

| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of fortune and patron deity of the city, is depicted seated left upon a high-backed throne, wearing a turreted crown and draped in flowing robes. She extends her right hand forward holding a ship's rudder, symbolic of guidance and prosperity, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia overflowing with fruits and foliage. The figure is rendered in confident relief against a plain field, with the civic legend distributed in the upper field around the composition. A ground line is visible beneath the throne, and a beaded border frames the entire reverse. |
