| Obverse description | Laureate bust of the emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, with visible drapery at the shoulder, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Ascalonian civic coinage. The effigy is encircled by a Greek legend reading ΑΝΤΩΝΙΝΟϹ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΟϹ, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic mature features with a full beard and wreath of laurel leaves. The coin exhibits an irregular flan with slightly uneven strike, typical of provincial bronze issues of the mid-second century CE. |
