| Obverse description | Laureate head of the Demos (personification of the people of Saitta) facing right, depicted in the style of a youthful male bust with naturalistic modelling typical of Lydian provincial coinage. A circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait in the field. The die work is characteristic of the Sardis conventus workshop, with moderately detailed facial features and a slightly irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | A turreted and draped deity, likely Tyche or Kybele, seated facing left upon a throne, with one arm extended and holding attributes consistent with civic iconography. The figure is rendered in a formal, frontal-throne composition standard to Lydian provincial bronzes. A stepped base or altar is visible beneath the throne. The Greek magistrate legend encircles the design in the field, referencing the local archon responsible for the issue. |
