| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus facing right, seen from the rear, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of the Pergamene conventus. The emperor's portrait displays the characteristic military paludamentum fastened at the shoulder. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. |

| Reverse description | Dionysus standing left, head turned right, his left arm resting upon an ivy-entwined column, his right hand raised behind his head in a relaxed pose; to his right, Pan stands facing left, raising his right hand to his forehead in a gesture of salutation or shading, while his left hand holds a pedum (shepherd's crook). The composition reflects the syncretic religious traditions of the region, combining two deities associated with nature and festivity. The reverse legend, distributed in the field, records the name and office of the local strategos responsible for the coin's issue. |
