| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Lucius Verus facing left, with traces of drapery visible at the shoulder truncation. The effigy displays the characteristic curly hair and beard of Lucius Verus rendered in the Antonine style. A dotted border frames the coin's periphery. The retrograde Greek legend encircles the portrait in the field. |

| Reverse description | Perseus standing facing, head turned to the right, clad in military dress and chlamys. In his outstretched right hand he holds the severed head of Medusa, while his left hand holds the harpa, the curved sword associated with his myth. The figure is rendered in a static, frontal stance typical of provincial bronze coinage of the Antonine period. The ethnic legend ΑΡΓΕΙΩΝ appears in the field. |
