| Obverse description | Draped bust of Faustina II facing right, her hair elaborately waved and drawn back in the characteristic Antonine fashion, secured at the nape. The effigy is rendered in the provincial Greek style, with drapery folds visible at the truncation. A beaded border frames the field. The Greek legend ΦΑΥϹΤΙΝΑ ΑΥΓ ϹΕΒΑϹ surrounds the portrait. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted Hector, the legendary Trojan hero and civic patron of Ilium, standing left in full martial attire, extending a patera over a lighted altar at his side, while carrying a spear and shield. The figure evokes the city's mythological heritage and its proud connection to the Trojan cycle. The composition is typical of provincial civic reverses celebrating local legendary traditions. The legend ΕΚΤΩΡ ΙΛΙΕΩ(Ν) identifies both the hero and the issuing community. |
