| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of Marcus Aurelius (as Caesar), facing right, with short curly hair and a short beard rendered in the naturalistic Antonine style. The portrait displays youthful features consistent with his depiction as heir during the reign of Antoninus Pius. A Greek legend surrounds the bust within a dotted border, reading ΚΑΙϹ Μ ΑΥΡ ΒΗΡοϹ, identifying the subject as Caesar Marcus Aurelius Verus. |

| Reverse description | Athena standing left in the field, clad in chiton and aegis, holding a patera in her extended right hand and resting her left arm upon a large round shield set on the ground; a spear stands upright beside her. The composition is characteristic of provincial Mysian bronze coinage of the Antonine period. The ethnic legend ΓΕΡΜΗΝΩΝ appears in the field or around the type, denoting the civic authority of Germe. |
