| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Lucius Verus facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Corinthian colonial coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic beard and features, with the laurel wreath crown clearly articulated. The obverse legend encircles the bust, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. The flan is notably thick and the surface carries a blue-green patina with areas of heavy encrustation consistent with prolonged burial. Despite the heavy wear, the general outline of the imperial portrait and cuirass detailing remain discernible. |
