| Obverse description | Bare head of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Asia Minor civic coinage. The portrait is unadorned, presenting the emperor without laurel wreath or diadem, with naturalistic facial features characteristic of Antonine-period portraiture. A Greek imperial legend encircles the portrait within a dotted border, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show heavy patination consistent with extended burial, with legend partially legible along the upper and lower periphery. |
