| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Marcus Aurelius facing right, depicted with characteristic curly hair and short beard in the naturalistic Antonine style. The imperial effigy occupies the central field, with the Greek legend disposed around the periphery. The portrait displays the refined provincial workmanship typical of Thracian civic bronze coinage of the second century AD. |

| Reverse description | A large coiled serpent with its head erect and turned to the right occupies the central field, rendered in relief with clearly articulated body coils. The serpent, likely representing the healing deity Glycon or a chthonic cult serpent venerated at Augusta Traiana, is depicted in a compact, tightly wound pose rising from its coils. The Greek civic legend of Augusta Traiana is distributed around the periphery, encircling the device. |
