| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gaius Julius Verus Maximus Caesar facing right, presented in three-quarter front view, with paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder and scaled or segmented cuirass visible at the truncation. The effigy displays youthful features consistent with Maximus as Caesar under his father Maximinus Thrax. The Greek legend surrounds the bust within a dotted border. |

| Reverse description | Isis Pharia advancing right, her billowing drapery swept back dramatically behind her, wearing a lotus or crown atop her head, and extending her right arm forward while holding a billowing sail with both hands — the iconic Pharos type associated with Alexandria and maritime cities. The figure strides energetically across the field, with the voluminous sail forming the dominant compositional element. The Greek legend encircles the type within a dotted border, reading across the lower field ΦΩΚΑΙΕΩΝ. |
