| Obverse description | Bare-headed, laureate and draped bust of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Syrian civic coinage. The emperor's mature features are depicted with a short beard and detailed hair bound by a laurel wreath, with drapery visible at the truncation. The Greek imperial legend runs around the periphery of the flan, partially visible due to the irregular spread of the die. The portrait displays the characteristic artistic conventions of the eastern provincial mint, with bold, slightly schematic modelling. |
