| Opschrift voorzijde | ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙϹΑΡ ΑΝΤΩΝΕΙΝοϹ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Antoninus) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | Aphrodite standing to the right, crowned with a stephane, her figure rendered in the classical contrapposto tradition of provincial civic coinage. In her right hand she holds an apple, the iconographic attribute identifying her as the victorious goddess of the Judgement of Paris, while her left hand bears a long sceptre. The ethnic legend of the Amastrians appears in the field around the deity. |

Amastris, founded as a synoikism of four smaller Pontic settlements around 300 BC by the Macedonian princess of the same name — a niece of Darius III who had married and then divorced Dionysius of Heraclea — retained enough civic pride under Roman rule to issue bronze coinage with unusual consistency through the Antonine period. The city's copper-alloy issues under Antoninus Pius fall within a broader surge of provincial bronze production across Bithynia-Pontus, a region where Roman governors exercised tighter oversight than in many eastern provinces.
