| Obverse description | Youthful bare-headed bust of Marcus Aurelius as Caesar, draped with paludamentum, facing right and seen from the rear. The portrait exhibits the characteristic features of the young prince prior to his adoption of the imperial beard. The surrounding field carries the Greek legend identifying the subject as Caesar Verus. The style is consistent with provincial die-cutting of the Lydian conventus under Antoninus Pius. |

| Reverse description | Nike advancing to the right, rendered in high relief, her wings spread and drapery flowing behind her. She carries a palm-branch in her left hand and raises what appears to be a wreath in her right hand. The figure is set within a plain field with the civic legend of Tralles partially visible in the lower exergual area and around the periphery. The die work, though worn, displays the characteristic civic style of Lydian provincial coinage of the Antonine period. |
