| Obverse description | Draped bust of Lucilla facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed and piled at the back of the head in the style characteristic of Antonine-era imperial women. The effigy is rendered in a provincial style with somewhat flat relief. The Greek legend ΛοΥΚΙΛΛΑ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗ runs around the periphery of the flan, identifying the subject as Lucilla Augusta, wife of Lucius Verus and daughter of Marcus Aurelius. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Juno (Hera) depicted in full length, facing left, wearing a long chiton and himation rendered in provincial style. She extends her right hand holding a patera in the act of libation, while her left hand grasps a long vertical sceptre. The Greek votive legend ΥΠΕΡ ΝΙΚΗϹ ΤΩΝ ΚΥΡΙΩΝ, meaning 'for the victory of the lords (emperors)', runs around the field, a formula typical of Mesopotamian civic coinage struck in honour of the joint reign of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus during the Parthian War. |
