| Obverse description | Confronted busts of Septimius Severus and Geta: laureate and cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus to right, seen from the rear, with a gorgoneion visible on the cuirass, facing the laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Geta to left. The two imperial effigies are presented face-to-face in a dynastic pairing composition characteristic of Severan provincial coinage. The surrounding Greek legend identifies both rulers. The flan is broad and irregular, typical of the large-module civic bronzes struck at Stratonicea in Caria. |

| Reverse description | Zeus Panamaros, draped and wielding a long sceptre, depicted as a mounted horseman advancing to the right on a prancing horse with raised forelegs, rendered in bold relief. To the right of the horse stands a flaming altar, a hallmark attribute of the celebrated syncretic deity worshipped at the sanctuary of Panamara near Stratonicea. The scene reflects the prominent civic cult of Zeus Panamaros and its close association with the city's religious identity. The Greek magistrate legend frames the field, and the ethnic ϹΤΡΑΤΟΝΙΚΕΩΝ appears in the lower portion of the reverse. |
