| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Lucius Verus facing right, seen from the rear, with the cuirass visible at the shoulder. The effigy displays the emperor's characteristic curled beard and hair rendered in the Antonine style. A partial Greek legend surrounds the bust in the field, partially legible on this heavily worn and holed specimen. |

| Reverse description | Isis Pharia depicted standing to the left, clad in a long belted chiton and himation, holding an inflated billowing sail with both hands before her, a common type evoking her role as protectress of sailors and maritime trade. The figure is rendered in a provincial Greek style characteristic of Carian civic coinage of the Antonine period. The ethnic legend ΙΑϹΕΩΝ appears in the right field, identifying the issuing city of Iasus. The coin has been pierced, suggesting secondary use as a pendant or amulet in antiquity. |
