| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Lucius Verus facing right, depicted from the rear in the distinctive Alexandrian style, with the emperor's military attire rendered in fine detail. The obverse legend is disposed around the periphery of the flan, identifying the emperor in Greek characters. The portrait exhibits the characteristic workshop style of the Alexandrian mint under the joint reign of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus. |

| Reverse description | Dikaiosyne (personification of Justice), draped, standing left, holding a pair of scales in her extended right hand and a cornucopia in her left arm. The figure is rendered in the typical Alexandrian provincial style, with flowing drapery falling to the ground. The regnal year legend L Θ (Year 9, corresponding to 168–169 AD) appears in the right field, a dating convention characteristic of Alexandrian tetradrachms and billon coinage of the imperial period. |
