| Obverse description | Confronted busts: laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus to right, seen from the rear, facing a laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Geta to left. The two imperial effigies are depicted facing one another in the characteristic 'vis-à-vis' arrangement common to provincial bronzes of the Severan period. The surrounding legend identifies both rulers. The style is consistent with the civic coinage of Stratonicea in Caria. |

| Reverse description | Hecate standing facing, head turned to left, wearing a kalathos (basket crown), holding a patera in one hand and a torch in the other; a lighted altar is depicted at her feet. The goddess is rendered in the frontal stance typical of Carian civic iconography, reflecting the strong local veneration of Hecate, whose cult was particularly prominent in the region of Stratonicea. The encircling legend names the issuing city and the presiding magistrate. |
