| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and the cuirass edge defined at the truncation. The portrait displays the youthful features characteristic of Caracalla's early coinage. A Greek legend encircles the effigy within the border of dots, partially preserved on the worn flan. |

| Reverse description | Apollo seated to the right upon a rocky outcrop, holding a plectrum in his right hand and a lyre in his left, confronting Marsyas who stands to the left, raising both arms to hold a flute in each hand. The composition captures the mythological musical contest between the two figures, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Mysia. The reverse legend, partially preserved, encircles the scene within a border of dots. |
