| Obverse description | Bare-headed draped bust of Marcus Aurelius, with short beard, wearing paludamentum, facing right. The portrait presents the youthful features of the Caesar with closely cropped hair rendered in fine stippled curls. The Greek legend Μ ΑΥΡΗΛΙΟϹ ΚΑΙϹΑΡ encircles the bust in the field. |

| Reverse description | Draped bust of Sarapis facing right, wearing the characteristic modius (kalathos) atop his head secured by a taenia, his garment arranged in neat folds over the shoulder. The regnal year date L ΙΗ (year 18, corresponding to 154–155 AD) appears in the right field. The composition reflects the syncretic Graeco-Egyptian religious iconography prevalent in Alexandrian coinage of the Antonine period. |
