| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Caracalla facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from behind, displaying the elaborate folds of the imperial paludamentum and the decorative musculature of the cuirass. The laureate wreath is rendered with fine beaded detail atop the emperor's curled hair. A dotted border frames the field, and the Greek imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery of the obverse. |

| Reverse description | The seated figure of Tyche of Laodicea occupies the center of the reverse, enthroned to the left, holding in her right hand a small cult statue of Zeus Laodiceus and in her left a cornucopia, emblems of civic prosperity and divine patronage. Flanking her are two reclining river gods: on the left, the river Lykos, leaning upon his water urn from which water flows, and on the right, the river Kapros, similarly reclining and holding a cornucopia and a reed. The multi-line reverse legend identifies the city, its neokorate status, and the two river deities, arranged in the field and exergue. |
