| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Lucius Verus facing right, wearing the paludamentum over segmented cuirass. The imperial effigy is rendered in the characteristic Antonine style, with the legend encircling the portrait within a beaded border. The obverse legend identifies the emperor with his full imperial titulature. |

| Reverse description | Helios, the solar deity, depicted standing upright in a galloping quadriga charging to the right, holding a whip in his raised hand to drive the four horses. The scene is a dynamic representation of the sun god's chariot, a motif closely associated with the cult of Helios prominent at Corinth. The abbreviated colonial legend appears in the field, referencing the Roman colony. The coin's heavily worn and patinated surface partially obscures fine details of the horses and figure. |
