| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Marcus Aurelius facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Coele-Syrian civic coinage. The effigy displays a radiate wreath of laurel leaves crowning the head, with the cuirass visible at the truncation of the shoulder. A circular legend in Greek characters runs along the border of the flan, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with hand-struck provincial bronze coinage of the Antonine period. |
