| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Marcus Aurelius facing right, rendered in the characteristic Roman provincial style. The laureate wreath is visible atop the imperial portrait, with the paludamentum and cuirass indicated at the truncation. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery of the flan, partially legible due to surface wear and encrustation. The portrait exhibits the broad, naturalistic features associated with Antonine-era provincial coinage from Corinth. |

| Reverse description | Standing female figure, identified as Concordia or Homonoia (possibly conflated with Fortuna/Tyche), depicted facing left in long robes. She extends a patera in her right hand over a flaming altar at her side, and holds a cornucopia in her left arm, symbolizing abundance and civic harmony. The composition is typical of Corinthian colonial bronze issues of the Antonine period, emphasizing the colony's prosperity and concordance. The colonial Latin legend is distributed in the field around the figure. |
