| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Antoninus Pius facing left, wearing paludamentum over cuirass. The emperor's effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Syrian colonial coinage of the mid-second century AD. A circular legend surrounds the bust, with all letter A forms rendered as the archaic lambda (Λ), a distinctive epigraphic feature of Berytus colonial issues. |
