| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Marcus Aurelius facing right, with characteristic beard and portrait features typical of his Antonine coinage. The legend, partially preserved, reads [---]ΑΝΤωΝΙΝ[---], referencing his imperial name Antoninus. The flan is irregular and the surface heavily worn, with the portrait rendered in the provincial Greek style common to Peloponnesian civic bronzes of the 2nd century AD. |

| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Artemis advancing to the right, her right hand reaching back over her shoulder to draw an arrow from the quiver, her left hand holding a bow. At her feet to the right, a hunting dog leaps upward to the right, a composition closely associated with the civic iconography of Argos. The reverse legend ΑΡΓΕΙ[ω]Ν, meaning 'of the Argives', appears in the field, partially preserved due to flan irregularity. |
