| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Marcus Aurelius facing right, wearing paludamentum over cuirass. The imperial portrait displays the characteristic beard and features of Marcus Aurelius as seen on Roman provincial coinage of the Antonine period. A partially visible legend encircles the bust within the field. |

| Reverse description | Aeneas advancing to the right, head turned back to the left, in the act of leading his young son Ascanius by the hand while simultaneously carrying his aged father Anchises on his shoulder, a scene drawn from the Trojan legend of the founding ancestry of Corinth's Roman colonists. The composition evokes the celebrated pietas Aeneae and the Trojan heritage claimed by the Roman colony. The colonial abbreviation appears in the field. |
