| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the restrained provincial style typical of the Conventus of Cyzicus. The emperor's features are modelled with modest detail, displaying a short beard and cropped hair. A circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait within the coin's field, running along the periphery. |

| Reverse description | A winged caduceus depicted upright at centre, with two serpents entwined around the staff and wings spreading at the top, rendered in a simple but recognisable provincial style. The civic ethnic legend of the Miletopolitans encircles the device, distributed around the periphery of the coin's field. The overall design is characteristic of small civic bronze issues from the region of Mysia during the Antonine period. |
