| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, portrayed from behind, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and the cuirass rendered in provincial style. The imperial effigy occupies the central field, with the legend disposed around the periphery in Greek characters. The portrait displays the characteristic youthful features associated with Elagabalus on Ephesian provincial coinage, with a radiate laurel wreath crowning the head. A dotted border frames the design. |

| Reverse description | Tyche or Homonoia standing facing, her head turned to the left, wearing a kalathos (cylindrical modius headdress) atop her head. She extends her right hand holding a patera above a lighted altar, and supports a cornucopia in the bend of her left arm, symbolizing abundance and civic harmony. The figure is rendered in the conventional provincial style of the Ephesian mint, with drapery falling in schematic folds. The encircling Greek legend proclaims Ephesus's prestigious status as a four-time neocorate city. |
