Obverse description Bare-headed bust of Marcus Aurelius, draped in cuirass and paludamentum, facing right and seen from behind, with a beard of medium to long length with short curls. The imperial effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Mysian civic coinage. A partial Latin legend surrounds the bust in the field.

Reverse description A founder depicted as a togatus priest ploughing to the right, guiding a yoke of two oxen in the act of marking the ritual boundary (pomerium) of the colonial city. This type is the canonical colonial foundation type associated with Colonia Gemella Iulia Hadriana Pariana, referencing the city's Roman colonial charter. The abbreviated colonial title appears in the field or along the periphery as the reverse legend.
