| Obverse description | Bare-headed draped bust of Marcus Aurelius as Caesar, facing left, with short beard, wearing the paludamentum (military cloak) fastened at the right shoulder. The portrait displays the characteristic youthful features of the future emperor during his tenure as Caesar under Antoninus Pius. The Greek legend ΑΥΡΗΛΙ ΚΑΙϹΑΡ runs around the periphery of the flan, partially visible despite significant surface wear. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Dikaiosyne-Nemesis facing left, rendered in a provincial civic style typical of Bithynian bronzes. The goddess holds a pair of scales in her raised right hand and a long sceptre in her left; at her feet to the left lies a wheel, the attribute of Nemesis symbolising the turning of fate. The ethnic legend ΤΙΑΝΩΝ, identifying the mint city of Tium, appears in the field. |
