| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, rendered in the three-quarter rear view characteristic of later Severan provincial coinage. The emperor's paludamentum and segmented cuirass are rendered in considerable detail, conveying imperial military authority. A small circular countermark appears in the lower right field. The encircling Greek legend names the emperor by his dynastic titulature. |

| Reverse description | An agonistic prize table depicted in three-quarter perspective, its ornately decorated legs and apron clearly rendered, supporting three inscribed prize wreaths laid upon its surface. The wreaths, prizes of the three named sacred games — the Olympia, the Augusteia, and the Pythia — are individually distinguishable. The multi-line Greek legend distributed around and beneath the table identifies the civic magistrate (grammateus) responsible for the issue and proclaims Tralles' coveted neocorate status. |
