| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, with finely rendered curly hair and beard rendered in the naturalistic Antonine style typical of provincial Greek coinage. The emperor is depicted with a draped shoulder visible at the truncation. A Greek imperial legend encircles the effigy within a dotted border, with the alpha characters rendered in the distinctive local variant shaped as lambda. |
