| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Septimius Severus facing right, depicted from the rear in the conventional three-quarter view. The portrait exhibits the characteristic bearded visage of Severus rendered in the provincial Greek style. The imperial titulature legend surrounds the bust in Greek characters, occupying the full circumference of the obverse field. |

| Reverse description | Nude Heracles standing to right, the Nemean lion skin draped over his left shoulder, his right arm resting on his hip and left arm leaning upon his club set upon the ground. At his feet to the lower left, the infant Telephus reclines facing left, accompanied by a stag seated to the right — an allusion to the mythological founding legend of Pergamon. To the far right, an eagle stands facing with head turned to the left, wings partially spread, perched upon a rock. The reverse legend names the local strategos and the city of Germe in Greek characters distributed across the field. |
