| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Lucius Verus facing right, with short beard and curly hair rendered in the Antonine style. The emperor's effigy occupies the majority of the flan, with pauldron detail visible on the cuirass at the shoulder. The surrounding legend, partially visible due to wear, runs along the rim. The portrait exhibits the characteristic robust modelling of Roman provincial coinage from Corinthian workshops. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth was refounded as a Roman colony by Julius Caesar in 44 BC, nearly a century after Lucius Mummius had razed the Greek city to rubble. The colonial mint resumed activity intermittently through the imperial period, and issues under Marcus Aurelius coincide with his co-reign alongside Lucius Verus — the first time Rome had operated under two simultaneous augusti.
The Isthmia reference ties this coin to the Isthmian Games, administered from Corinth since the city's refoundation. Corinthian civic bronzes referencing the games are well-attested but not abundant.
