| Obverse description | Laureate, draped bust of Marcus Aurelius facing right, with traces of paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic beard and curled hair rendered in the Antonine style. The encircling legend runs along the periphery of the flan. The coin shows heavy green patination consistent with its provincial bronze fabric. |

| Reverse description | Diana/Artemis depicted as the huntress, advancing to the right in dynamic stride, a quiver at her shoulder, holding a bow in one hand and a torch in the other. To the left, a leaping stag bounds leftward; to the right, a dog leaps to the right, completing the animated hunting scene. The reverse legend is distributed in the field. The composition is characteristic of the colonial bronzes struck at Corinth under the Antonines. |
