| Obverse description | Draped and paludamentum-clad laureate bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, viewed from the centre, with the emperor's characteristic full beard and broad features rendered in the provincial style. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters identifying the emperor by his full titulature. |

| Reverse description | Zeus Osogōllis, the principal deity of Mylasa in Caria, depicted standing to the right, holding a long trident in his right hand with its shaft resting upon a crab — a symbol associated with the city — while an eagle perches on his extended left hand. The reverse legend ΜΥΛΑϹΕΩΝ in Greek letters identifies the issuing city, and the composition reflects the strong local religious identity of the Mylasan civic coinage. |
