| Obverse description | Draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, laureate, with long beard, facing right and seen from the rear, rendered in the provincial Greek style. The obverse legend encircles the bust, identifying the emperor by his abbreviated imperial titulature. The portraiture reflects the mature iconography of Aurelius established after his accession in 161 AD. |

| Reverse description | Homonoia type featuring two civic cult statues flanking the central field. To the left stands the nude cult statue of Apollo Didymeus, facing front, holding a stag and a bow, the canonical image associated with the great sanctuary at Didyma near Miletus. To the right stands the multi-breasted cult statue of Artemis of Ephesus, facing front, wearing a kalathos (cylindrical headdress) and supported by lateral props in the traditional Ephesian manner. Two stags are positioned between the figures, referencing both deities and symbolising the civic alliance (Homonoia) between Miletus and Ephesus. The reverse legend is distributed around the design. |
