The emperor is depicted bearded, wearing a paludamentum over segmented cuirass, with the laureate wreath clearly visible encircling the head. The legend runs around the periphery in Greek characters. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

The eagle holds a wreath in its beak and between its legs a bull's head or bull's horns motif is visible, a distinctive emblematic element found on Phoenician provincial tetradrachms. The Greek legend is distributed across the field, with a beaded border encircling the entire reverse design. |
