| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Marcus Aurelius facing right, rendered in the characteristic Antonine style with softly modelled features and curling beard. The imperial effigy is encircled by a Greek legend reading the emperor's full titulature. The flan is somewhat irregular, with patchy green and brown patination obscuring portions of the design. |

| Reverse description | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, standing left upon a globe, her wings spread behind her. She extends a wreath forward in her right hand and holds a long palm-branch in her left. The figure is rendered in a frontal contrapposto stance typical of Antonine provincial bronzes. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ appears in the field, referencing the issuing city of Nicaea in Bithynia. |
