Details

On the obverse Marcus Aurelius is depicted bare-headed as Caesar. Not as Augustus, as Antoninus Pius was still emperor at the time. Caesar is the heir apparent in this context. On the back is the goddess Minerva, holding a spear and shield. SC stands for Senatus Consulto. That means that the Roman Senate guarantees the value of the coin.
