| Obverse description | Laureate head of Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style with characteristic thick neck and idealized portrait. The obverse legend in Greek characters encircles the bust, reading the emperor's full titulature: Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic beard and laurel wreath, typical of mid-Antonine provincial coinage from Egypt. |

| Reverse description | The Agathodaemon serpent depicted erect and facing right, crowned with the Egyptian double crown (skhent), its coils enfolding both a club and a caduceus — emblems of divine protection and prosperity. This sacred serpent deity was closely associated with the city of Alexandria and featured prominently on Alexandrian civic coinage. The regnal date appears in the field in Greek numerals. |
