| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, with traces of drapery visible at the shoulder truncation. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Bithynian civic coinage, with the emperor's distinctive beard and mature facial features. A Greek imperial legend encircles the bust in the field, with the notable epigraphic peculiarity of alpha letters formed in the shape of lambda. The coin exhibits the irregularly flan shape and somewhat rough surfaces typical of Antonine-era provincial bronze issues. |
