| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, with traces of drapery visible on the left shoulder. The effigy displays the characteristic mature portrait of the emperor with a full beard and wreathed head rendered in the Alexandrian provincial style. A Greek legend encircles the bust, running from lower left to upper right around the portrait. The regnal year date Δ (year 4) appears prominently in the right field adjacent to the bust. |

| Reverse description | Tyche standing facing, head turned to the left, wearing a kalathos (modius) upon her head. She holds a long rudder in her right hand, its blade resting on the ground to her right, symbolising guidance and fortune, while cradling a cornucopia in her left arm, emblematic of abundance. The figure is rendered in the standard Alexandrian provincial typology associated with the city's protective deity. The regnal year legend L Δ appears in the field. |
