| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ ΚΑ Μ ΑΥ ΑΝΤωΝΕΙΝΟϹ ΑΥ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus) |
| Reverse description | Zeus depicted standing, facing the viewer with head turned to the right, holding a long sceptre in his right hand while his left hand rests upon his hip. The figure is rendered in a statuesque, dignified pose consistent with the Pheidian tradition of Zeus imagery on provincial Greek coinage. The ethnic legend of the issuing city appears in the field. The reverse type underscores the religious and civic identity of Zacynthus, where the cult of Zeus held prominence. |
