| Obverse lettering | IMP CAES ANTONINVS |
| Reverse description | A togatus figure, identified as the colony's founder acting in his role as priest, strides rightward while guiding a yoke of two oxen as they pull a plough, enacting the ritual act of sulcus primigenius that defined the sacred boundaries of a Roman colonial foundation. The scene is rendered in the compact, stylised manner typical of Mysian provincial bronzes of the Antonine period. The colonial abbreviation C G I H P — Colonia Gemella Iulia Hadriana Pariana — appears as the reverse legend, affirming the city's prestigious colonial status. |
