| Obverse description | Draped and cuirassed bust of Marcus Aurelius Caesar, bare-headed with short beard, facing right and seen from the rear, with paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The portrait reflects the characteristically youthful yet bearded rendering of Aurelius as Caesar under Antoninus Pius, consistent with Alexandrian provincial coinage of the period. The encircling legend identifies the subject in Greek characters. |
