| Obverse description | Draped bust of Sabina facing right, her hair elaborately coiled and piled high upon the head above a double stephane, rendered in the refined Hadrianic court style. The portrait conveys the idealized imperial femininity characteristic of official provincial bronze coinage of the period. The legend encircles the bust in Greek characters. |

| Reverse description | A sistrum depicted centrally in the field, the sacred rattle associated with the cult of Isis, rendered with its characteristic looped frame and transverse bars. The city ethnic ΑΙ-ΓΑ (for Aegae) appears divided in the lower field to the left and right of the instrument, while the magistrate's legend occupies the upper portions of the field. The design is bold and schematic, typical of small-module provincial bronze issues. |
