| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, draped bust of Marcus Aurelius facing right, portraying the emperor with his characteristic full beard rendered in long, tightly curled locks and wavy hair. The effigy displays a mature, philosophical portrait consistent with official Antonine dynastic imagery of the early 170s AD. A Greek imperial legend surrounds the bust, reading partially along the left and right fields. The coin's flan is irregular, and the surface shows an olive-brown patina consistent with provincial bronze coinage of Asia Minor. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A caduceus with a distinctive club-like lower handle is depicted facing upward in the centre of the field, its shaft featuring two entwined serpents forming a rounded loop at mid-height; at the junction, a gorgoneion (apotropaic Medusa head) is prominently placed. The entire device is surmounted at the apex by a crescent and star, both emblematic of Cyzicus and its civic religious traditions. The composition is contained within a dotted border, with the ethnic legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ distributed around the periphery of the field. The reverse type reflects the distinctive local iconography of Cyzicus, combining Hermes' caduceus with the city's celestial and chthonic symbols. |
