| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, wearing paludamentum over cuirass. The portrait is rendered in the typical provincial style of Bithynian coinage, with the laureate wreath clearly delineated. A Greek imperial legend surrounds the bust, with the distinctive local die-cutter convention of rendering alpha as lambda throughout the inscription. |
