| Obverse description | Bare-headed youthful bust of Marcus Aurelius as Caesar facing right, with short curly hair rendered in fine relief typical of Antonine provincial coinage. The portrait is executed in the idealized Hellenistic tradition favored by eastern mints, presenting the future emperor with smooth facial features and a naturalistic neck truncation. The circular Greek legend surrounds the effigy in the field, disposed along the coin's periphery. |
