| Obverse description | Bare head of the young Marcus Aurelius, with short beard, facing right, portrayed in the naturalistic Antonine style typical of provincial bronze coinage. The obverse legend Μ ΑΥΡΗΛΙΟϹ ΟΥΗΡΟϹ ΚΑΙ runs around the periphery in Greek script, identifying the co-emperor by his pre-accession name. The flan shows the characteristic irregular edge of a hand-struck provincial issue, with patinated surfaces obscuring fine detail. |

| Reverse description | The Palladium, a primitive xoanon-style cult statue of Athena, depicted standing to the right, brandishing a spear aloft in her raised right hand while holding a round shield in her left. This archaic idol type, closely associated with the protective deity of the city, is a recurring reverse type on civic bronzes of Synnada in Phrygia. The ethnic legend ϹΥΝΝΑΔΕΩΝ is inscribed in the field or around the periphery in Greek script, denoting the issuing civic authority. |
