| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of Antoninus Pius wearing paludamentum, facing right, with characteristic short beard and naturalistic portraiture typical of Antonine provincial coinage. The imperial effigy is rendered in moderate relief, with the legend disposed around the periphery of the flan. The obverse field is plain, and the flan is slightly irregular, consistent with provincial hammered production. |
