| Obverse description | Bare head of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, facing right, with characteristically long, curly hair and full beard rendered in fine relief, consistent with his mature portraiture as Augustus. The effigy is set within a dotted border, with the Greek imperial titulature legend disposed around the periphery of the flan. The portrait exhibits the philosophical gravitas typical of Antonine-period provincial coinage from Mysia. |

| Reverse description | A bull (or calf) shown in profile, walking to the right, rendered in sturdy relief above a ground line; the animal's musculature is summarily but recognizably depicted in the provincial style. The reverse field is enclosed within a dotted border, and a two-part Greek legend appears above and below the central device, the lower portion separated from the type by a horizontal ground line. The Ζ in the legend is rendered in an unusual form resembling the character エ, a notable die peculiarity recorded for this issue. |
