| Obverse lettering | ΑΥ Κ Τ ΑΙ ΑΔΡΙ ΑΝΤΩΝΙΝOC (Translation: `Emperor Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus`.) |
| Reverse description | A seated deity, identified as Zeus or a comparable divine figure, is depicted facing left upon a throne, with the right arm extended and the left arm resting at the side, consistent with standard provincial iconography of the Antonine period in Thrace. The figure appears semi-draped about the lower body, with the upper torso bare. The Greek legend of the reverse names the imperial legate Julius Commodus Orfitianus and the civic ethnonym of the issuing city Topirus, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The reverse die work is typical of mid-second century Thracian provincial coinage, exhibiting a broad flat field with moderate artistic execution. |
