| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed bust of Marcus Aurelius, with short beard, draped in paludamentum, facing right and seen from the rear. The obverse legend encircles the portrait, reading Μ ΑΥΡΗΛΙ ΟΥΗΡΟϹ ΚΑΙ, identifying the future emperor as Caesar under Antoninus Pius. The portraiture reflects the provincial Greek style characteristic of the Lydian mint at Blaundus, with relatively coarse but expressive die-cutting. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus depicted nude, standing facing with head turned to the left, extending a patera in his right hand over a lighted altar at his side, while his left hand holds a large thunderbolt. Between the patera and the altar, an eagle is shown in flight to the left, carrying a bone in its talons — a rare and iconographically distinctive detail. The reverse legend ΒΛΑΥΝΔΕΩΝ ΜΑ(ΚΕΔ) encircles the design, identifying the issuing civic authority of Blaundus with its Macedonian tribal epithet. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Blaundus was a Lydian city of modest regional standing, elevated to greater administrative visibility under the Roman provincial reorganization that placed it within the Sardis conventus — one of the judicial districts through which Roman governors conducted assizes. The magistrate name abbreviated in the legend likely held a local liturgical office, the kind of appointed civic role wealthy provincials were expected to fund personally, a system Rome relied upon to govern without paying for it.
Bronze civic issues from Blaundus are sparsely documented compared to neighboring Lydian mints, making die studies for this reign genuinely incomplete.
