| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, portrayed in three-quarter rear view, with elaborate curled hair beneath the laurel wreath and visible paludamentum folds over the left shoulder. The cuirass is rendered with fine detail including pteryges at the shoulder. The Greek imperial legend encircles the portrait along the outer border, with a beaded inner rim framing the entire composition. The effigy displays the youthful features characteristic of Caracalla's early portraiture as Caesar under Septimius Severus. |

| Reverse description | Tyche standing right, clad in long chiton and himation, holding a sceptre in her left hand and extending her right hand to clasp that of Roma (or Athena) seated left upon a cuirass; the seated figure wears military attire and a crested helmet, and a large round shield is positioned to the right. The scene evokes a formal concordia or alliance between the city goddess and Rome, rendered in a style typical of Phrygian civic bronze coinage of the Severan period. The Greek legend and regnal year appear in the field and along the border. |
