| Obverse description | Draped bust of Faustina II facing right, depicted with characteristic coiffure typical of her portraiture under Marcus Aurelius. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style of Mysian workshops, with drapery folds visible across the shoulder. The surrounding legend in Greek characters names the empress as Augusta. The coin's heavy patination and surface corrosion obscure fine detail, though the bust profile remains identifiable. |

| Reverse description | Demeter Eleusinia seated to the left upon a throne, depicted in the guise of her Eleusinian cult persona. The goddess holds in her extended hand a poppy head alongside two ears of grain, emblematic of her dominion over the harvest and the Eleusinian Mysteries, while a long transverse torch is held across her body. The composition reflects the Hellenistic iconographic tradition common to provincial Mysian bronze coinage of the Antonine period. The reverse legend in Greek encircles the design, naming the local magistrate and the civic ethnic of Adramyteum. |
