| Obverse description | Bare head of Marcus Aurelius, lightly bearded, facing right, depicted as Caesar in a youthful portrait consistent with his appearance during the reign of Antoninus Pius. The Greek legend encircles the effigy within a beaded border. The portrait is rendered in the provincial style typical of Pergamene civic bronze coinage, with fine curling hair and a naturalistic treatment of the facial features. |

| Reverse description | A serpent coiling to the right upon a rectangular altar or base, a motif closely associated with the healing cult of Asclepius, for which Pergamum was a renowned sanctuary centre. The serpent is depicted with multiple coils visible around the altar's body, its head raised. The Greek magistrate's legend surrounds the central device within a beaded border, referencing the strategos Quartus in his second term of office and the city of Pergamum. |
