| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Emperor Marcus Aurelius facing right, viewed from the centre, rendered in the provincial style typical of Carian civic coinage. The emperor's effigy displays the characteristic military accoutrements befitting his imperial dignity, with the laurel wreath symbolising his divine favour and victory. A partially preserved Greek legend arcs around the bust within the coin's field. |

| Reverse description | A herm of Zeus depicted standing, facing, with the head turned to the right, rendered in the characteristic pillar-like form of a herm type with the deity's bearded visage prominent. The figure occupies the central field of the flan in a static, frontal posture typical of provincial Carian iconography. The ethnic legend ΙΑϹΕΩΝ arcs around the reverse field, identifying the issuing city of Iasus. The overall style reflects the local workshop traditions of the Conventus of Alabanda during the Antonine period. |
