| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, with traces of drapery visible at the shoulder truncation. The portrait is rendered in the typical provincial style of Bithynia, with a bearded effigy and carefully delineated laurel wreath. A circular Greek legend surrounds the bust, with the distinctive feature that alpha characters are engraved in the form of lambda. The field shows the broad, somewhat worn surfaces characteristic of civic bronze coinage of this period. |
