| Obverse description | Bare head of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the characteristic portrait style of provincial civic coinage of Asia Minor. The effigy is set within a beaded border, with the imperial titulature legend arranged in the surrounding field. The die-work, though now heavily worn and encrusted, preserves the essential physiognomic features of the emperor consistent with Antonine portraiture conventions. |

| Reverse description | Athena standing facing, helmeted and clad in chiton and aegis, holding a spear in her right hand and a shield in her left, the figure rendered in the upright, frontal stance typical of civic deity types on provincial bronzes of Caria. The city ethnic legend ΑΛΙΚΑΡΝΑϹϹΕΩΝ is disposed around the field within a beaded border. The reverse type reflects the civic pride of Halicarnassus in its divine patroness, consistent with other issues of the Halicarnassian mint under Antoninus Pius. |
