| Obverse description | Draped and diademed bust of Tranquillina, empress consort of Gordian III, facing right, portrayed with elaborately coiffed hair secured by a stephane. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style typical of Carian workshops, with garments visible at the shoulder. A continuous Greek legend encircles the bust within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of civic fortune, standing facing left in long flowing robes and wearing a turreted crown upon her head. She holds a rudder in her right hand resting on a globe at her feet, and a cornucopia in her left arm along with ears of grain, symbolizing prosperity and abundance. The figure is rendered in the standard provincial idiom, set within a dotted border with the ethnic legend of the city of Aphrodisias distributed around the field. |
