| Obverse description | Laureate head of Lucius Verus facing right, with traces of drapery visible at the truncation of the neck. The effigy is rendered in the standard provincial idiom, with the laurel wreath clearly delineated. The encircling Latin legend runs around the periphery of the flan, partially legible due to surface patination. Notably, the first letter A in the legend appears in the form of a K, a documented die peculiarity for this issue. |

To the right of the temple, Pegasus is depicted leaping to the right. At the base of the rocky outcrop, an arched niche is visible on the left side, with what appears to be a smaller temple structure on the right. To the left of the rock, a tree is depicted in the field. The abbreviated colonial legend appears in the field. |
