| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Septimius Severus facing right, depicted from the rear in the distinctive three-quarter back view typical of certain provincial issues. The effigy displays military dress with paludamentum, conveying imperial authority. The surrounding legend in Greek characters identifies the emperor with his full titulature. |

| Reverse description | The Judgement of Paris on Mount Ida, rendered in a multi-figure mythological composition. To the left, the three goddesses — Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite — stand in sequence; at the feet of Aphrodite, Eros stands left with one foot resting upon a rock. Above and to the right, Paris reclines against a tree in a pose of contemplative repose. The scene reflects the local pride of Scepsis in its association with the Trojan mythological cycle of Mount Ida. The reverse legend identifies the issuing city and its regional identity. |
