Obverse description	Draped bust of Faustina II facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of the Mysian mint at Apollonia ad Rhyndacum. The effigy displays the empress with elaborately arranged hair, her drapery visible at the truncation of the shoulder. A beaded border encircles the type, and the Greek legend ΦΑΥϹΤΕΙΝ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗ runs around the periphery identifying her as Augusta.

Reverse description	The river-god Rhyndakos, personification of the local river, depicted as a reclining male figure turned to the left. He rests his right arm upon a ship's stern (apluster) while leaning against a water-urn from which water flows, a standard iconographic convention for river deities in provincial Greek coinage of Asia Minor. The ethnic legend ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝΙΑΤΩΝ curves around the field, identifying the issuing city of Apollonia ad Rhyndacum in Mysia.
