| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Carian civic coinage. The effigy displays the characteristic mature features of the emperor, with a laurel wreath crowning the head. A Greek imperial titulature legend surrounds the portrait, running along the beaded border of the flan. The die work, though worn, reflects the competent local engraving tradition of the Maeander valley region. |

| Reverse description | Nike, the goddess of victory, advancing to the right in a dynamic striding pose, her wings spread behind her. She holds a wreath extended in her right hand and a long palm-branch in her left, both attributes emblematic of victory and civic triumph. The figure is rendered in the local provincial style with flowing drapery, set within a plain field. The encircling Greek ethnic legend of the Antiochians appears around the reverse design. |
