| Obverse description | Bare-headed and bearded bust of Lucius Verus facing right, with characteristically full, curly hair rendered in high relief, consistent with the portrait style of this emperor on provincial coinage. The neck truncation is visible at the base of the effigy. A beaded border frames the field. The Greek imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery. |

| Reverse description | Turreted and draped bust of Artemis facing right, wearing a mural crown, with hair swept back beneath the crown; the drapery is rendered in flowing folds at the truncation. A torch appears to the left of the bust and a bow to the right, both serving as attributes of the goddess. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is inscribed around the field, identifying the issuing city of Nicaea. |
