Obverse description Laureate, draped bust of Antoninus Pius wearing paludamentum, facing right, rendered in the provincial Roman style typical of Pisidian colonial issues. The laureate wreath is visible atop the emperor's head, and the paludamentum fastened at the shoulder is indicated in low relief. The circumferential legend runs around the bust. The flan is irregular and the surfaces exhibit heavy green patination consistent with long burial.

Reverse description Diana (Venus/Aphrodite syncretism; legend reads DEANAE sic) depicted standing, facing, with head turned to the left, holding a patera in one hand and a bow and spear in the other. To the right of the goddess, a stag stands facing right with head raised upward, serving as her characteristic divine attribute. The composition reflects a local Pisidian religious interpretation, blending attributes of Diana and Aphrodite. The colonial legend DEANAE COL CREM encircles the field, with the misspelling of DIANAE noted in the literature.
