| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder, rendered in the typical provincial style of the Antonine period. The emperor's effigy occupies the central field, with a Greek imperial titulature legend running around the periphery. The portrait displays the characteristic full beard and mature physiognomy associated with Antoninus Pius on Judaean provincial issues. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show the patinated green-brown corrosion typical of hammered provincial bronzes. |

| Reverse description | Tyche of Gaza standing left, wearing a kalathos (modius) on her head, holding a long sceptre in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left. To the left of the figure, a heifer stands facing left, a distinctive civic emblem of Gaza. To the right, the Gaza-symbol known as the mem appears in the field. The composition reflects the standard civic iconography of Gazan provincial coinage under the Antonines, combining the city's protective deity with local cultic and civic symbols. |
