| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of the emperor Marcus Aurelius facing right, rendered with characteristically long beard and flowing curls, as typical of his later portrait type. The effigy is set within a dotted border, with the abbreviated Greek imperial titulature disposed around the periphery of the field. The portrait exhibits the mature, philosophical character associated with Antonine provincial coinage of Asia Minor. |

| Reverse description | Standing youthful figure of Ascanius, the legendary Trojan hero and son of Aeneas, depicted full-length facing, with head turned to the right. He holds a spear in one hand while resting the other hand upon a sword at his side, alluding to the mythological traditions of the Troad region. The legend naming both the deity and the city of Scepsis is distributed in the field around the figure, within a dotted border. |
