| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Lucius Verus facing right, portrayed in the imperial military manner with the cloak fastened at the shoulder. The emperor's features are rendered in the Antonine style characteristic of provincial Roman coinage. The legend encircles the bust within the field. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Kronos (Saturn) turned to the left, holding a patera in his extended right hand over a lighted altar, with a sickle and chlamys in his left hand. The composition reflects the syncretic religious imagery common to Roman colonial coinage of Corinth, where Kronos was venerated as a local deity. The colonial abbreviation appears in the field. |
