| Obverse description | Confronted bare-headed busts of the co-emperors Lucius Verus (left) and Marcus Aurelius (right), both draped in paludamentum, facing one another in the field. The legend flanks the busts in the periphery, naming each emperor in abbreviated Greek characters. The composition is symmetrically arranged, a provincial die-cutter's rendering of the imperial college in the Greek East. |

| Reverse description | Two confronted male heads, identified as the Kabeiroi, facing one another across a central palm tree which rises between them. The palm tree is a symbol of victory and divine favour, while the Kabeiroi were mystery-cult deities closely associated with the island of Samothrace and venerated across the Aegean. The legend in the periphery identifies the issuing community and the divine recipients of the type. |
