| Obverse description | Bare-headed, lightly bearded bust of Marcus Aurelius as Caesar, draped in cuirass and paludamentum, facing right, viewed from the front. The legend encircling the bust reads Μ ΑΥΡΗΛΙ ΟΥΗΡΟϹ ΚΑΙϹ, identifying the subject as Marcus Aurelius Verus Caesar. The portrait reflects the youthful but increasingly mature features characteristic of Marcus Aurelius's depictions during the co-regency under Antoninus Pius. The die work is typical of provincial Phrygian civic coinage of the mid-second century AD. |

| Reverse description | Athena standing left, clad in chiton and aegis, extending her right hand to hold a Nike above a lighted altar, and grasping a vertical spear in her left hand; a round shield rests at her side. The composition is a standard reverse type for Phrygian civic bronze coinage, emphasizing the city's allegiance to Macedonian identity through the legend ΠΕΛΤΗΝΩΝ ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΩΝ. The figures are rendered in the simplified but competent style typical of provincial mint production under Antoninus Pius. |
