| Obverse description | Confronted draped and cuirassed busts of Caracalla, laureate, facing right on the left, and Geta, bare-headed and draped, facing left on the right, set vis-à-vis across the field. A rectangular tabula or altar appears in the lower exergual area between the two busts. The Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan. The portrait style is characteristic of Carian provincial bronze coinage of the Severan period. |

| Reverse description | Zeus Panamaros, draped and in divine guise, advancing right on horseback, holding a long sceptre upright in his left hand; a lighted altar stands to the right of the composition. The equestrian deity is rendered in the local Carian iconographic tradition associated with the sanctuary of Zeus Panamaros near Stratonicea. The reverse legend naming the presiding magistrate (prostates) encircles the design. |
