| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gaius Julius Verus Maximus Caesar facing right, depicted from the rear in three-quarter view. The portrait follows the provincial style characteristic of the Smyrna conventus, with visible paludamentum folds over the cuirass. The obverse legend surrounds the effigy in Greek characters. |

| Reverse description | The celebrated lyric poet Anacreon, patron deity and cultural symbol of Teos, seated to the right upon a throne or stool, holding and playing a lyre. The figure is rendered in the tradition of provincial Greek civic types honoring the city's illustrious literary heritage. The reverse legend, disposed around the type in two lines or in the field, records the name of the local magistrate and the civic ethnic. The composition is typical of Teian bronze coinage of the Severan and subsequent periods. |
