| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Emperor Lucius Verus facing right, rendered in the Roman provincial style with characteristic features of the young co-emperor. The imperial legend encircles the effigy, running along the periphery of the flan. The portrait displays the short beard and curled hair typical of Verus's iconography. The field shows the characteristic patina and fabric of a Corinthian colonial bronze issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth's colonial coinage under Marcus Aurelius was issued by the Roman colony of Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis — refounded by Julius Caesar in 44 BC on the ruins of the city Mummius had razed in 146 BC. The magistrates responsible for authorizing individual issues remain poorly documented, making the "C L I COR" colonial abbreviation the primary anchor for attribution within this series.
The Peloponnesian mint was intermittently active under the Antonines, and production under Marcus Aurelius likely intensified after his accession in 161 AD coincided with the Parthian War, which strained imperial mints and pushed local colonial production to fill regional bronze needs.
