| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style with finely detailed curled hair and beard. The imperial effigy displays a draped and cuirassed bust truncation at the shoulder. A circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait in the field, distributed along the periphery of the flan. The coin exhibits a heavy green patina consistent with long burial, with the portrait retaining clear die detail despite surface corrosion. |

| Reverse description | A tetrastyle temple depicted in frontal elevation, its four columns framing a cult statue of a seated figure turned to the left, holding an uncertain object in the outstretched hand and a long sceptre. The architectural rendering is characteristic of Bithynian provincial coinage, with the entablature and pediment clearly articulated above the colonnade. The ethnic legend of the issuing city is distributed in the field around the temple type, identifying the civic authority responsible for the emission. |
