| Obverse description | Youthful, lightly bearded bare head of Marcus Aurelius as Caesar, facing right, with possible traces of drapery at the shoulder. The portrait reflects the early Antonine style, with finely rendered hair and idealized features characteristic of provincial Greek coinage. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, identifying the subject as Marcus Aurelius Verus Caesar. |

| Reverse description | Nude Hermes advancing to the right, depicted in a dynamic striding pose. In his right hand he carries the caduceus, his divine attribute, while the chlamys drapes over his left arm; his left hand appears raised in a gesturing motion. The reverse legend in Greek is distributed around the field, identifying the issuing city. The figure displays the fluid, classicizing style typical of Bithynian provincial bronzes of the Antonine period. |
