| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Marcus Aurelius facing right, with traces of drapery visible at the truncation of the shoulder. The emperor's portrait is rendered in the characteristic Antonine style, with finely detailed curling hair and beard. The encircling Greek legend reads ΑΥΤ Κ Μ ΑΥΡΗΛΙ ΑΝΤΩΝΙΝΟϹ ϹΕ, with the alpha characters rendered in the local lambda form, a notable feature of Carrhae's civic coinage. |
