| Obverse description | Confronted busts of Caracalla and Geta, both laureate and draped, facing one another at center of the field; Caracalla's bust, the larger of the two, is shown laureate, draped and cuirassed to the left, while Geta's smaller bust faces right. A Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan. The composition is a classic provincial double-portrait type, rendered in the hammered style typical of Carian civic coinage under the Severan dynasty. |

| Reverse description | Hecate depicted standing facing, her head turned to the left, wearing a kalathos upon her head. She holds a patera in her right hand and a torch in her left hand, with a dog seated at her feet. The reverse legend naming the magistrate Flavius Leon and the civic ethnic of Stratonicea runs around the periphery. The composition reflects the strong local cult of Hecate at Stratonicea, where the goddess held a preeminent religious significance. |
