| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Marcus Aurelius, draped in cuirass and paludamentum, facing right and seen from the rear, with a long beard rendered in flowing curls characteristic of his mature portraiture. The emperor's effigy is presented in the heroic military fashion typical of provincial coinage from Asia Minor, with finely modelled drapery folds visible across the shoulder and chest. The encircling Greek legend names the emperor in the nominative case, framing the bust within a dotted border. |

| Reverse description | Asclepius, the god of medicine, stands frontally in the field, his head turned to the left, clad in a long himation that drapes loosely over his body. He holds his distinctive attribute, a knotted serpent-staff (the rod of Asclepius), upright in his right hand, with the serpent coiling around the staff. The surrounding Greek legend references the strategos Aristeas and identifies Pergamum as a twice-neokoros city, the full inscription running around the coin within a dotted border. |
