| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, with characteristic draping at the neck visible beneath the bust truncation. The portrait displays the emperor's well-known mature physiognomy with a full beard, rendered in the competent provincial style typical of Corinthian colonial coinage. The surrounding legend, partially legible, runs along the periphery of the flan. The surfaces show significant wear consistent with extended circulation. |

| Reverse description | A draped figure, likely Roma or a seated deity, shown seated to the left upon a throne or seat, raising the right hand in a gesture of salutation or authority, while the left hand rests upon a large shield placed at the figure's side. The composition is typical of Corinthian colonial reverse types evoking Roman martial and civic virtues. The abbreviated colonial legend is distributed in the field. The relief is worn but the general iconographic scheme remains identifiable. |
