| Opschrift voorzijde | IMP ANTONINO AVG (G shaped as I or Γ) (Translation: to Emperor Antoninus Augustus) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | Neptune (Poseidon) depicted standing in full figure, facing left, draped in a chlamys about the lower body, holding a dolphin in his right hand and a long trident in his left. The deity stands in a composed, static pose characteristic of provincial Roman colonial bronzes. The colonial legend appears to the right of the figure in the field, partially preserved. The overall style reflects the local Sinopean die-cutting tradition of the mid-second century AD. |

Sinope's status as a Roman colony — formally established under Julius Caesar in 45 BC — gave it the right to strike colonial bronze with Latin legends, unusual for a Pontic city surrounded by Greek-issuing neighbors. The colonists' descendants were still asserting that Roman identity two centuries later under Antoninus Pius, whose exceptionally stable 23-year reign produced a vast volume of provincial bronze across the eastern mints. The COS IIII in the reference designation dates the issue to after 145 AD, when Pius received his fourth consulship.
