| Obverse description | Bare head of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the naturalistic provincial style typical of Mysian civic coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic features — a broad face with a short beard — without laurel wreath or diadem. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy within the coin's field, partially legible given the worn state of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Youthful, lightly bearded bare-headed bust of Marcus Aurelius (Caesar Verus), draped in a paludamentum, facing right and depicted from the centre, as was customary for junior imperial figures on provincial bronzes. The portrait conveys the prince's adolescent features consistent with his status as Caesar and adopted son of Antoninus Pius during the period 139–146. A partially legible Latin legend encircles the bust, with a noted orthographic irregularity in the transcription of 'CAESAR'. The reverse typology firmly associates this issue with the mint of Parium in Mysia. |
