| Obverse description | Bare head of the emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the typical provincial style of the Carian conventus. The imperial effigy is unlaureate, depicted with naturalistic facial features characteristic of Antonine portraiture. The circumferential Greek legend is partially visible around the field, with lettering distributed across the upper and lower periphery of the flan. |

| Obverse lettering | ΑΥ Τ ΑΙ ΚΑΙ ΑΝΤΩΝΕΙΝΟϹ (Translation: Emperor Titus Aelius Caesar Antoninus) |
| Reverse description | Apollo Telmiseus depicted standing facing, with head turned to the left, rendered in a frontal stance typical of provincial Carian coinage. The god holds a laurel branch in his extended hand, a standard attribute associating him with his oracular and healing functions. The reverse field is heavily worn, with the figure occupying the central register and the ethnic legend distributed around the periphery. The overall style reflects the local die-cutting tradition of Halicarnassus under Roman provincial administration. |
