| Obverse description | Cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, laureate, facing right, viewed from centre, with the imperial legend surrounding. The portrait renders the emperor in his characteristic mature style with detailed beard and military dress, reflecting the official provincial coinage type of Asia Minor under his reign. |

| Reverse description | Homonoia type depicting the cult statues of the two allied cities: to the left, the cult statue of Artemis Ephesia standing facing, wearing the kalathos headdress, her body adorned with multiple rows of pendants and supported by lateral stags flanking her sides; to the right, Zeus of Tralles enthroned, seated left, holding Nike in his extended right hand and a long sceptre in his left. The composition emblematises the formal concordia (Homonoia) between Ephesus and Tralles, with the legend distributed in the field. |
