| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gaius Julius Verus Maximus Caesar facing right, depicted from a three-quarter rear perspective. The bust displays paludamentum and segmented armour, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Asia Minor civic coinage. The obverse legend encircles the effigy in Greek characters, identifying the subject by his full imperial titulature. The flan is irregular, with a notable chip at the upper rim, and the surfaces carry a dark green patina consistent with extended burial. |

| Reverse description | Sarapis depicted standing, facing the viewer with head turned to the left, clad in a long chiton and himation. He raises his right hand in a gesture of benediction and holds a tall sceptre in his left hand. The modius, the characteristic crown of Sarapis, would originally have been visible atop his head. The reverse legend ΜΑΓΝΗΤΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority of Magnesia ad Maeandrum. The overall style is consistent with provincial bronze coinage of the Severan period in the Milesian conventus. |
