| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Emperor Marcus Aurelius facing right, with short curly hair and beard rendered in the naturalistic Antonine style. The imperial effigy is depicted with a draped and cuirassed shoulder, characteristic of provincial bronze coinage of the period. A circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait within a beaded border, occupying the full periphery of the flan. |
