| Obverse description | Laureate head of Antoninus Pius facing right, with traces of drapery visible at the truncation of the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the typical provincial style of Bithynian coinage, with the laurel wreath clearly indicated despite surface wear. A Greek legend encircles the portrait in the field. |

| Reverse description | Asclepius, the god of medicine, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left, draped in a himation, and holding his characteristic serpent-entwined staff (the kerykeion of Asclepius) in his right hand. The figure is rendered in a frontal stance typical of provincial Greek coinage of the Antonine period. The Greek legend naming the city of Tium flanks the deity in the field. |
