| Obverse description | Draped and cuirassed bust of Lucius Verus, laureate, facing right and seen from the rear, presented in the distinctive Asiatic provincial style characteristic of Ephesian coinage of the Antonine period. The obverse legend runs around the periphery of the flan in Greek characters, identifying the emperor. The portraiture emphasizes the military character of the co-emperor through the cuirass, while the laurel wreath denotes imperial and divine honour. |
