| Obverse description | Bare-headed, bearded bust of Lucius Verus facing right, draped in paludamentum and wearing cuirass, with characteristically curled hair rendered in the Antonine style. The imperial effigy is portrayed with the robust portraiture typical of Bithynian provincial coinage of the mid-second century AD. The Greek legend encircles the bust along the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Nude Poseidon standing in contrapposto facing left, his right foot resting upon a rock or promontory, holding a long trident upright in his left hand and a dolphin in his extended right hand. The figure reflects the civic pride of Tium as a coastal Bithynian city with strong maritime associations. The ethnic legend of the city encircles the field in Greek characters. |
