Obverse description Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, depicted from a rear three-quarter perspective, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and segmented plate armour rendered in fine relief. The emperor's youthful features are framed by a laurel wreath with prominent berry clusters. The Greek imperial titulature legend ΑΥΤΟΚ ΚΑΙ Μ ΑΥ ΑΝΤΩΝΕΙΝΟϹ encircles the bust, commencing at the upper left and continuing around the field.

Reverse description Caracalla, laureate and in military dress, depicted on horseback advancing to the right, his right arm raised and brandishing a spear in a commanding gesture. Beneath the horse, two captive figures are shown in submissive postures, alluding to Roman military victory. The civic ethnic legend ΑΤΤΟΥΔΕΩΝ appears in the field or exergue, identifying the issuing city of Attuda in Caria. The composition is bold and energetic, consistent with Severan-era provincial bronze coinage celebrating imperial military prowess.
