| Obverse description | Bare-headed, laureate and draped bust of Emperor Marcus Aurelius facing right, with characteristic short beard rendered in fine curling strokes. The imperial effigy displays a naturalistic portrait in the Antonine tradition, with curly hair bound by a laurel wreath. The encircling Latin legend runs along the outer border of the coin field. The die work reflects the provincial engraving style typical of Roman colonial issues from Corinth during the Antonine period. |

| Reverse description | Standing female figure, identified as Concordia or Homonoia (possibly Fortuna/Tyche), depicted facing with head turned to the left. She holds a patera in her outstretched right hand and a cornucopia in her left arm, both attributes emblematic of concord and abundance. Her head is adorned with a turreted crown, referencing the civic character of the deity as a personification of the colony. The abbreviated colonial legend is disposed in the field around the figure, typical of Roman provincial coinage struck at Corinth. |
