| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Lucius Verus facing right, wearing a paludamentum over body armour. The imperial effigy is rendered in the prevailing Antonine style with characteristic full beard. The legend surrounds the bust in the field, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. |

| Reverse description | Two standing figures occupy the reverse field in a symmetrical composition. At left, Salus (equated with the Greek Hygieia) stands facing right, extending a patera from which a serpent rises to feed; at right, Aesculapius (Asclepius) stands frontally with head turned to the left, his right hand resting upon a serpent-entwined staff. The colonial abbreviation appears in the field, divided between the two figures. |
