| Obverse description | Radiate head of Emperor Marcus Aurelius facing right, struck in the provincial style characteristic of Syrian civic coinage. The radiate crown is rendered with diverging rays above the imperial effigy, which displays the emperor's characteristic curled hair and full beard consistent with his later portraiture. The abbreviated Greek legend runs along the upper periphery of the flan, partially legible due to the irregular flan striking. The portrait reflects the local die-cutter's interpretation of official imperial imagery as disseminated through the Antonine period. |

| Reverse description | Civic inscription of Zeugma in two lines within a laurel wreath, the branches neatly tied at the base with individual leaves rendered on either side. The ethnic legend identifying the civic community occupies the wreath's interior, with the letter B appearing below the main inscription, serving as a denomination or officina mark. The wreathed civic type is fully characteristic of Syrian provincial bronze coinage of the Antonine period, reflecting the city's autonomous municipal identity under Roman provincial administration. |
