| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Marcus Aurelius facing right, with characteristic curly hair rendered in fine detail, draped at the shoulder. The portrait is executed in the naturalistic provincial style typical of Bithynian civic coinage. A beaded border frames the field. The Greek imperial titulature legend surrounds the effigy. |

| Reverse description | Nike, the goddess of victory, standing facing with head turned to the left. She holds a wreath aloft in her outstretched right hand and carries a long palm frond over her left shoulder, symbolising triumph. The figure is rendered in the standard provincial Hellenistic tradition. The ethnic legend of the issuing city appears in the field. |
