| Obverse description | Laureate head of Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in low relief in the provincial style. The portrait displays the characteristic features of the emperor with a laurel wreath crown. The surface shows typical wear and patination consistent with a small hammered provincial bronze. A partial Greek legend appears in the field, partially obscured by wear. |

| Reverse description | Ram standing to the right, rendered in a simplified provincial style with legs clearly delineated. The animal is depicted in profile with characteristic curled horns. A partial Greek legend reading ΒΟϹΤΡ appears in the field, with part of the legend possibly retrograde. The type is consistent with the civic coinage of Bostra in Arabia, where the ram served as a regional emblem. |
