| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of Antinous facing right, rendered with characteristic youthful features and the distinctive thick, wavy hair swept forward over the brow associated with his canonical portraiture. The effigy is presented in right profile with drapery visible at the shoulder. A beaded border encircles the design. The Greek legend ΑΝΤΙΝΟΟϹ ΗΡΩϹ is disposed around the bust, identifying the deified favourite of Hadrian by his heroic epithet. |

| Reverse description | Antinous, assimilated to Dionysus, depicted standing in a relaxed cross-legged pose turned to the right, nude to the waist with a himation draped over the lower limbs. In his raised right hand he holds a bunch of grapes, while his left hand bears a cantharus; he leans against a column to his left. The composition reflects the syncretistic Dionysiac imagery commonly associated with Antinous in provincial coinage of Asia Minor. The magistrate's legend occupies the field around the figure. |
