| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Lucius Verus, draped in paludamentum and cuirass, facing right and seen from the rear, the head turned to display the laureate profile. The legend, partially preserved, runs along the periphery of the flan in Greek characters, identifying the emperor as Lucius Aurelius Verus Augustus. |

| Reverse description | A monumental temple pylon rendered in schematic architectural style, its two flanking towers framing a central gateway within which two Canopic jars are depicted standing side by side on a base. The composition evokes the sacred architecture of Egyptian religious sites, with the Canopi — vessels associated with the cult of Osiris — prominently displayed within the pylon's embrace. The regnal year date appears in the field. The overall design reflects the Alexandrian mint's characteristic synthesis of Greco-Roman and Egyptian iconographic traditions. |
