| Obverse description | Draped bust of Faustina II facing right, depicted with characteristic elaborately coiffed hair, within a beaded border. The legend ΦΑΥϹΤΕΙΝΑ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗ ('Faustina Augusta') runs in the field surrounding the imperial effigy. The portrait is rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Mysian civic coinage of the Antonine period. |

| Reverse description | Tetrastyle temple depicted in frontal elevation with a decorated pediment surmounted by acroteria, resting on a podium with visible steps at the base. Between the four columns stands a bearded herm figure, possibly representing Zeus, with arms extended outward from the pillar-like body. The neokorate legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ΝΕΟΚΟΡΩΝ ('of the Cyzicenes, temple-wardens') is distributed around the periphery of the field, emphasizing the city's prestigious status as neokoros of the imperial cult. The reverse is enclosed within a beaded border. |
