| Obverse description | Bare head of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Mysian civic coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic mature features with a short beard, set within a circular field bordered by a Latin legend. The die engraving, though worn, conveys the broad, laureate-free head associated with Antoninus Pius's bareheaded provincial portraiture. A countermark is visible on the left field, a common feature on circulating provincial bronzes of this region and period. |

| Reverse description | Confronted busts of the co-heirs Marcus Aurelius and Faustina II, arranged facing one another across the coin's field. To the left, the bare head of Marcus Aurelius, shown facing right with a short beard indicative of his early Caesarian portraits; to the right, the draped bust of Faustina II facing left, rendered in the conventional provincial manner. The composition, presenting both figures side by side, is a dynastic type celebrating the imperial succession. The surrounding Latin legend names both figures. |
