| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, depicted from the rear, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The imperial effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Mysian civic coinage. A partially preserved Latin legend runs around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Amor (Eros/Cupid) depicted standing facing, head turned to the right, nude, with wings partially visible. The deity extends the right hand downward over a small herm standing at his feet, in a gesture of blessing or dedication. A partially preserved Latin colonial legend surrounds the figure, referencing the colonia Gemella Iulia Hadriana Pariana. The composition reflects the local cult of Cupid venerated at Parium. |
