| Obverse description | Radiate, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Philip I (the Arab) facing right, portrayed in three-quarter view from the rear, presenting the emperor in full imperial military regalia. The effigy displays characteristic provincial die-cutting style, with the paludamentum visible over the cuirass. A Greek imperial legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. |

| Reverse description | Zeus, the principal deity of the city's coinage, is depicted enthroned and seated to the left upon an ornate chair, his body rendered in a frontal pose with head turned left. In his extended right hand he holds a patera, and in his left hand he grasps a long sceptre. The extensive Greek civic legend, arranged around the field and in the exergue, records the name and title of the presiding local magistrate and the ethnic of the issuing city, all within a beaded border. |
