| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, seen from the rear, with paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the provincial Greek style characteristic of Ephesian civic coinage of the Severan period. The circular Greek legend runs along the outer border of the flan, partially visible around the bust. |

An aphlaston or stern ornament is visible at the rear of the vessel, and a mast with rigging rises above the deck.
