| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Geta facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from behind, revealing the elaborate musculature of the cuirass and the folds of the paludamentum across the left shoulder. The portrait exhibits the characteristic youthful physiognomy of Geta as Caesar or Augustus. The encircling Greek legend runs along the border of the flan. The die work is typical of the skilled provincial engravers of the Ionian conventus. |

| Reverse description | Homonoia type depicting the cult statue of Artemis Leukophryene of Magnesia ad Maeandrum standing facing at left, being crowned by two small Nikai, each standing atop an eagle flanking the deity, juxtaposed with the iconic cult statue of Artemis of Ephesus standing facing at right, wearing the kalathos headdress and adorned with the characteristic multiple rows of pendants and animal reliefs. The composition celebrates the concord (Homonoia) between the two cities of Magnesia and Ephesus. The reverse legend encircles the two divine effigies in the field. |
