| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of Clodius Albinus facing right, with the drapery visible on the left shoulder; the portrait displays curly hair rendered in high relief and a short, neatly styled beard consistent with Severan-era portraiture. The effigy conveys a mature, authoritative likeness typical of provincial imperial coinage of the late 2nd century AD. The circular Latin legend runs clockwise around the bust within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Fortuna, draped, seated left upon a throne, holding a rudder set upon a globe in her extended right hand and a cornucopiae in her left hand; beneath the seat, a wheel is visible as an additional attribute. The composition is rendered in the classical Roman allegorical style, emphasizing the themes of returning fortune and prosperity. The legend encircles the field in a single line, with the type identifying the reverse deity and the issuer's second consulship. |
