| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed bust of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, draped with paludamentum, facing right and seen from the rear, with a characteristically long beard rendered in short curls. The imperial portrait conveys the mature Antonine style typical of early joint reign coinage. The obverse legend in Greek characters encircles the bust, identifying the emperor by his imperial titulature. |

| Reverse description | Full-length figure of the lunar deity Mên Kamareites standing facing, head turned to the left, wearing the distinctive Phrygian cap with a crescent visible behind his shoulders. In his right hand he holds a patera, while his left hand rests on a long sceptre. The composition reflects the syncretic Lydian-Phrygian religious tradition of Nysa and its surrounding region. The reverse legend in Greek identifies the local magistrate responsible for the issue and the civic ethnonym of the Nysaeans. |
