| Obverse description | Bare head of Marcus Aurelius facing left, portrayed with a medium-length beard and curly hair rendered in the characteristic Antonine style. The imperial effigy is depicted without laurel wreath or diadem, consistent with the early years of his sole reign. A partially legible Latin legend surrounds the portrait in the field. |

| Reverse description | The colonial founder depicted as a togatus priest, advancing to the right while guiding a yoke of two oxen pulling a plough, enacting the ritual sulcus primigenius that demarcated the sacred boundary of the Roman colony of Parium. The scene is a standard colonial foundation type widely attested in the Mysian mint's civic coinage. A Latin colonial abbreviation legend appears in the field above the scene. |
