| Obverse description | Bare head of Lucius Caesar facing right, depicted in youthful style with close-cropped hair rendered in fine strands. The portrait occupies the right portion of the flan, with the Greek legend ΑΙΓΑΕΩΝ ΛΕΥΚΙΟΝ disposed around the field. The effigy is executed in the Hellenistic civic tradition characteristic of provincial bronze coinage of the Augustan period. |

| Reverse description | Bare head of Gaius Caesar facing right, portrayed as a young prince with short, neatly arranged hair in the Augustan manner. The draped bust is rendered in three-quarter profile, consistent with the youthful imagery applied to the imperial heirs on provincial coinage. The surrounding Greek legend names the agonothete Diphilos of Phaita, identifying the civic magistrate responsible for the issue. |
