| Obverse description | Bare-headed, youthful bust of Marcus Aurelius Caesar, displaying a short beard, draped in paludamentum and cuirass, facing right as seen from the rear. The legend encircling the effigy identifies the subject as Marcus Aurelius Caesar in Greek characters. The portrait reflects the characteristic youthful features associated with Marcus Aurelius prior to his accession, consistent with Alexandrian provincial coinage of the mid-second century AD. |

| Reverse description | Athena depicted standing facing, with head turned to the left, clad in peplos and aegis. She extends her right hand to present a small figure of Nike, while her left arm rests upon a large, decorated shield set to her side. The regnal date legend appears in the field. The composition follows the canonical Alexandrian representation of Athena as a divine protectress, rendered in the bold, slightly provincial relief typical of Antonine-era Egyptian bronze coinage. |
