| Obverse description | Youthful bare-headed bust of Marcus Aurelius as Caesar, draped in paludamentum, facing right, viewed from the centre. The portrait captures the prince's early features with characteristic idealized treatment typical of provincial civic coinage. The encircling Greek legend runs along the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | A winged caduceus, the herald's staff of Hermes, depicted upright and centrally positioned within the field. The staff features a pair of outward-curving wings at the top and two intertwined serpents forming the characteristic loops below, rendered in bold, slightly schematic relief typical of provincial Lydian bronzes. The encircling Greek civic legend naming the magistrate Neikomachos and the city of Sardis runs around the periphery. |
